New toned coin project

I’ve started a project to assemble toned ANACS soapbox slabs. My goal is to find a toned example or multiples for each denomination, within my budget restrictions.
This is what I’ve compiled so far. The dime is a top pop.

    Nice group thus far! Good luck on this endeavor as those soapbox style holders have not been used in decades and many (most?) of the choice coins have been poached from them years ago.

    I will look thru my remainder soap box slabs and see if there is anything you might be interested in. Only about 60 or 70 left.

    Edit- Are you only doing 1 coin of each type because I see 2 toner Franklins?

    Multiples depending on colors/prices.

    I am looking forward to seeing your eventual Kennedy half and your eventual Peace dollar.
    Nice grouping so far.

    I’ve heard anecdotally that the plastic in the soapboxes may make the coins tone. Any thoughts on that?

    Some of the coins, such as the Morgan, do get some blue tones to them. I’ll post another example of one that toned in the holder.

    While this has some toning, I do not consider it part of that set.

    I checked... I do not have any tarnished coins in soap box holders... :D;) Cheers, RickO

    Very nice group and a great idea for collecting.

    Could be a possible toned Kennedy. I’ll find out in a week or so.
