<p>[QUOTE="goincarcrazy, post: 1445373, member: 25004"]I was looking through a dealer's stock of mint sets and while flipping through some of the unboxed sets, I happened upon this Sacagawea. At first I thought it was odd that it would tarnish in a sealed mint set, but when I picked it up to look, I found this toning. It looks like the cent and nickel have the slightest bit of coloration to them as well but nothing to write home about. There is some splotchy blue toning on the front, but nothing like the red/browns with blue swirls on the reverse. The only bit of normal coloration is near the eagles breast. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now the question to solve my curiosity: is it somewhat common to see toned coins in modern mint sets?
