    This coin is pretty. I see so many of these ugly stinking things in 90% all used up that I start to forget how pretty they can be.

    Enjoy!

    Very nice. Some of those poor ugly Roos have seen lots and lots of service. They're like the worn out veterans of "modern" coinage.

    really nice coins. I wonder why 1958 coinage seems to show up with great toning so often. Does anyone know?

    Mint sets had cardboard which toned the coins.

    You see all kind of late 50's mint set coins toned, not just roosies.

    The '58 Mint Sets are famous for producing some of our most spectacularly toned coins. Can't tell you why they did, just that they did.

    I'd really like to see a closeup of the "S" on the 1947. Looks like something might be going on there.
