Anyone here collect early US Mint Sets, 1947-1949?

Would love to see a few pics, particularly if you have a 1947 set with nice toning.....

I've owned a few 1947 sets over the years, but the toning is generally less intense than later years and has more tan toned coins except for those that take on more vivid shades of red and muted blue. This is just my experience from the relatively small pool of intact 1947 sets I have handled.
