[QUOTE="kanga, post: 553769, member: 9270"]While getting some Brown Ikes ready for listing, I encountered something interesting (maybe). All of them have varying degrees of milky hazing. That apparently is normal for those left in their original Mint packaging. [B]BUT[/B] The two 1974's also have a hint of rainbow toning. And [B]ONLY[/B] the 1974's. And less milky hazing. I wonder if the Mint made some sort of packaging change that year. Maybe it's something to keep an eye out for considering the general interest in toned coins.
