To be fair though, I'm not good at photographing toning yet, it goes from a golden to dark red... I'm hopeful blues will be the next colors to appear in the next 5 years or so. right now it's light gold, amber, russet, and burgundy I'm wishing the blues will start appearing. personally, i think it has to do with climate control during the initial shipping of the coins to you from the mint, at least that's how I think mine occurred. maybe left on a cold truck overnight, then they driver kicked on the heater in the morning for the route an condensation. I'm going to try ideal lighting someday to see about getting the colors to show up better. it does look better than this picture lets on to but in the absolute wrong light it's a dog. Oh and the picture's through the proof set lens also. the set itself, and the other side isn't nearly as bad as these sides the cent and SAC have no issue at all. its like the side that was inside facing with the COA didn't take the hit so bad as the sides towards the outer carton of the package, but like I said, mine came hazed lightly from the mint and I've let it ride for 20 years somewhat climate controlled, not going out of my way to remove any humidity, but not doing anything purposely either to add it.
