<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1604062, member: 42773"]This seller's got a lot of clad Kennedy's from the 70's and 80's in mint cellos, and the majority of them are toned. Now I've been through enough mint sets to know that the coins in the wrappers can sometimes take on vivid toning, and none of the toning in his offerings looks artificial to me. The patterns and colors look like stuff I've seen before.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, what concerns me is that he has so much of it. If you scroll through his listings, and look at a few pages, you'll find lot after lot of coins toned in the mint wrap. Is he doctoring them up somehow? Or does he just have a lot of mint sets that were stored in humid conditions? Or some other kind of conditions that would have caused so many to tone?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_armrs=1&_ssn=have-a-nickel&_nkw=kennedy&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_armrs=1&_ssn=have-a-nickel&_nkw=kennedy&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_armrs=1&_ssn=have-a-nickel&_nkw=kennedy&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
