    Despite the spots on the Lincoln Cent, the toning on that coin is super cool. Remember, I pay 5X bid, LOL.

    I'd personally keep them in the packaging!

    i am really digging the dimes. very nice toning on all the coins. i have a few sets like that. but my nickels did change color. they are now a blueish with some purples in it. very nice indeed. thanks for sharing

    I was thinking the same as Rzage. Bad seams or pinholes in the pliofilm. Very fortuitous I would say. Real beauties. Congrat's

    Yes, on some of them, I think it was the "seams" opening in between the coins, especially between the dime and cent,
    I did end up leaving some of the sets that were just lightly toned intact, I'll give them another couple years to get some more color.

    I'll post more pics as i take them, some of them are spectacular but hard to photograph.
