<p>[QUOTE="Keyman64, post: 2197611, member: 75130"]If you examine a TON of Proof Sets from 1960-1964 it is possible to find crazy color nickels. Other years too but 1960-1964 are the most common. The mint packs were heat sealed...so heat, gas, the plastic itself, then when the plastic breaks down over 40-60 years and that combined with different storage environments...crazy things happen. Crazy toned nickels reside in ANACS Yellow Label Holders and Blue Label Holders, PCGS old holders and new holders, NGC new holders for sure, some of the nickels are even blessed with QA stickers. Could some of them have been "helped along" in their toning? Sure, anything is possible but I know what tends to be market acceptable and what has made it into all of the TPG Holders. They are beautiful cheap thrills within US Coins! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
