Thank you! I stole that from @WingedLiberty1957 a few years before he started assembling his future #1 Toned Lincoln MS and eventual Toned Lincoln Proof sets. He called this one Carnival.

I submitted a prestige proofset (undisturbed) for grading to NGC and got these back. Does it make sense that it could be artificial toning if it never left the original government plastic case?

tklein

Oops, sorry. I meant to post my Lincoln. Same deal with that one too. Artificial toning straight out of the same prestige proof set.

No, that does not make sense. But, you should start another thread for this parallel (only if you submitted a sealed set, though).

Those are neat cents, guys!

I am not a big proof collector, however, I have a colorful SMS Lincoln from 1967.

Coins can be easily removed and replaced in original government packaging. So it is quite plausible that the coins are artificially toned.

This one is my prize proof toner - PF-66 BN:

RELAX..............It's fake and its looking for friends. Really, it doesn't exist. OK , I made this one. Trust me it's AT with additions.
OK, you got me . I made him wear it.

Technically not proof, next closest thing……SMS

You won't like them, but here goes. These are my 1936 Proof cents.

I won't pay huge dollars for Red cents.

His 36’s are slabbed, they might be.

I have no idea what happened to this one, but I am no purist and it intrigues me in its weirdness.

Ronsanderson

Somewhat more subtle than many shown here. I touch of color really adds to
the interest of the coin, at least for this collector.

I couldn’t tell you if the Set was artificially toned in that angle. Send me close up photos of each coin.
