<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Skyman, post: 3469306, member: 28299&quot;]Here are the 1959 P and D Washingtons for my B toner Dansco.&nbsp; In 1959 the US Mint switched from paper/cardboard packaging for their mint sets to plastic.&nbsp; That essentially ended mint set toning, so it&#039;s much more difficult to find a toned Washington from 1959 forward. </p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ll also note on the P mint that there appears to be some linear features in the obverse toning.&nbsp; This is a characteristic of some 1959 silver coins.&nbsp; It only occurs on one side of the coin.&nbsp; No one is exactly sure why these features appear, but the best theory that I&#039;ve heard of is that something occurred in the rolling process, for the sheets of silver the planchets were stamped out of.&nbsp; The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]922719[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]922720[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]922721[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]922722[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
