What do you think of this toning?? 1958 D Franklin Half

Does this look like your typical double mint set toning? I've seen quite a lot of DBL mint set examples and this one IS similar
but just unique enough to make me wonder... I don't know what else would produce this much color.

That's a nice looking coin, For mint set 58-D's I'm used to seeing one side toned more than the other, but the toning here (especially the green) does seem to match the mint set colors from that year.

Much more attractive toning than most mint set coins of that era. A keeper,
From my interpretation of the images it appears to be a US Mint Set coin.

In spite of the Franklin being my icon I'm not a Franklin expert. That said I don't see anything that would raise my antenna with respect to questionable toning.
I wasn't too worried about questionable toning. Just noting that is a bit more unique than your average double mint set examples...

I find it to be neutral

I like the toning on it but this about it. A beautiful for sure 🙂
The fingerprint on the obverse and the marks in the obverse field are distracting. The color can't save it.
I like the way that coin toned.
Yes!
That's a Beautiful Toner example.
The Green, is what we look for and your coin has it. Along, with the OGH, to boot.
Congratulations.

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.I like it. It's a bit more even and less mottled than most of the mint set toners I've seen.
The toning is nice, not great or 'monster'. I sort of agree with 291fifth, I think the fingerprint neutralizes the nice toning.
It does really jump out in the photos. In hand, it's less severe. I think I can live with it for now but agree... I really dislike fingerprints.
