As do I. Looking at the toning and it makes me wonder if the toning was from the cardboard insert that the coins are packaged in.
One of the sets looks like it’s just starting to tone the same, the other three sets look like they were just minted a minute ago. Absolutely nothing.
I agree. I was thinking of natural toning. Artificial, black or molted toning is unattractive.
I bought 5 of these sets direct from the mint in 2009. All of them were stored together and unopened until this week. Imagine my surprise when I...
Now that I think about it, most people like the toning but consider it damage. Wouldn’t fingerprints be a form of damage? They would to me.

Personally, I like the coin in the last photo you posted. It has more wear but less pitting and roughness. It looks more genuine than the first one.
This is a coin that has been counterfeited so beware. I like the coin itself but I’m not fond of this particular one. Cheap in lower grades but...
I’m at a 64.
Sure, Amen! :)
Sorry but not full bands. In the neighborhood of an XF. Not worth the cost of grading but it is a nice looking coin. Please protect it. Welcome...
From your wife’s view, it’s a beautiful coin. From your point of view, it’s one of the ugliest US coins you ever seen. Just don’t tell her that. Lol
It’s damaged, unfortunately. Welcome to CT.
It’s considered a variety.
