Couple of Franklins for your comments

First off, I love 'Cigar Boxes' and the gradual toning they sometimes impart onto the raw coins I keep in them... Here are a couple of nice looking 1957s. What are your thoughts?

i'm not big on toned coins, but those have just the right hint of it :0

I like nicely toned coins and those look like they are off to a good start!

Thanks for sharing

Bonedigger, is that a couple decades of storage?

I ask because I put a bunch of AU/BU nickels in a plastic tube. Since I didn't have 40 of them, I took some paper from a legal pad and crumpled it up so they wouldn't shake around in the tube. After about 2 months, all the nickels had a yellowish tone.

 

Only about a year or so, also were in stapled 2x2s.

toning

putting coins in a plastic tube and putting legal pad writing paper in with,the paper has sulfur in it which may cause yellowing.

 

i am not big on toned coins, and i am definately NOT for the AT of coins.

 

Bone, what's in the cigar box that makes them tone, they look good. How long are you going to leave them in?

Please, that is not AT.
Just because someone stores something in a container that causes toning it is not considered AT.

I have a number of coins that are in old brown envelopes, and they are toning nicely. Sure, they have been going for several years now, but that isn't AT either.
It is the sulphur that causes it.

 

Wow, very nice frankies Bone! :thumb: I put the first one at about a 64, and the other one a 63, possibly an FBL? Either way, very beautiful coins man! :thumb:
