<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 859397, member: 11854&quot;]These WQs look quite similar in many ways to the hoard of 1945-S Mercs that turned up in the 1990s and that were certified by NGC.&nbsp; Many of those coins are still in the old NGC fatty holders and quite a few obtained very high grades of MS68 or thereabouts.&nbsp; The colors are quite different than those Mercs, but the <i>patter </i>is similar if rotated 90 degrees.&nbsp; If I recall correctly, the Mercs were stored in a bank folder designed to hold something like $3.00 in dimes and the untoned areas in the center would be where the cardboard crossed the coin.&nbsp; This is analogous to how the classic commems were issued at times.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have some mated-pairs of toned coins, too, and it is quite cool to find such pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
