<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cremebrule, post: 1712547, member: 35227&quot;]Saw this double mint set earlier in the week on ebay, and was watching it to see if the price would spike up (as a lot of older mint sets do because of the toners in them). Surprisingly, the bid showed only $149.50 with a minute to go, so I ended up (manually) sniping the auction and winning it for a little over $160 shipped. The set shows two contrasting toning patterns -- one has cobalt blue and crusty orange prevalent throughout, while the other has golden/rainbow toning. The seller said that the boards have not been removed from its green backing; so what kind of toning exists on all the coins&#039; reverses is a mystery. I have high hopes for the franklins -- hopefully they&#039;ll be nicely toned on the side that&#039;s not shown and possibly grade FBL. Took a gamble here...hope it pays off! Will post pictures when it comes in the mail (seller&#039;s pictures below):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]263579.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]263581.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]263577.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]263578.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]263580.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
