Here is a photo of a mint set toner I won in a giveaway, and sold for $100 in San Francisco last July. It sold for like $40 in auction not long...
Wonderful, I like coins with a portrait on both sides :)
Mint set, I assume? Based on the obverse being so well-toned and the reverse getting that golden color
I could be wrong though. I thought the raw half you sent me would have more hairlines but upon opening it, was pleasantly surprised. So, maybe...
I agree. XF. Not sure if it is details. Maybe once it gets some darkening, it will be more acceptable but until then I think it hasn't retoned...

So easily identifiable, its one of those that really impresses the uninitiated when you bring it up :)
actually, I can see the gallery, but not the set. I'll poke around
1958 and earlier have the wheat reverse.
Unfortunately, your set seems to be private, so I can't see images. Although I would love to look and see if I can ID them.
No chance! I like it as is. It may be in a focal area, but I easily can look past it. Very common variety, but the 'pincer 8's' really caught my...
