<p>[QUOTE="AZSteve, post: 4847786, member: 114396"]About 8 years ago I got a State/Territorial/Park sampler from Littleton for 1999-2011. After looking at them upon receipt, they have been stored in the original tubes since. I opened the Territory/Park tube and was surprised to see some of the color differences - as if the underlying copper was coming through. In real life, Puerto Rico, Gettysburg, Mount Hood & Olympic all appear silver-white, just a bit of color on Chickasaw & Guam, quite noticeable on Yellowstone. Is this normal for clad coins of that age? Pictures are all on a grey background and all lighting from a north-facing window. Don't know why my digital camera decides to shift colors a bit. Obv & Rev taken from exactly same position. Last pic is at an angle to try to show the same amount of reflection from all coins - gives best impression of what I'm seeing.[ATTACH=full]1170504[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1170505[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1170506[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
