Roosevelt set update: Blue toned monsters posted

My toned Roosevelt set is progressing nicely.
Below are recent acquisitions. Thoughts on the toning? The prices were bargains.









1956

1958

Nice ... I love those toned 1950s proofs of any denomination, particularly Jeffs!

airplanenut

I like them! And the prices!

wingedliberty

I have yet to seriously pursue Jeffs, but will in the future. Should be fun.

Those are from mint sets, not proof sets!

Pretty nice coins, and the blues that I like so much. Good buys.

wingedliberty

I am finding the pursuit of blues to be difficult, as many more mint sets are being hunted down.

Brian, nice coins, can't wait to here what they look like in hand.

Very nice, Brian. I have a few blue toned Roosy's from mint sets. Very fun to look at.

I think the '56 will be darker than the image suggests while the '58 will be a lighter color coin. The reverse of the '56 might be a ruddy brown from the look of it. Overall, I like the coins, even if it didn't seem like it in my first sentence.

Brian, the late 1950 double Mint Sets will turn out many toned coins.
Hope your hunting goes well. You definitely can't argue with the prices on those two dimes.

Make that 50's.

I got a bit carried away playing with my software... but I think you'll like a couple of the dimes in this big pic, wingliberty.

FlyTooHigh

I think those dimes are butt ugly. (my opinion)

DHeath

Spiny,

That blue reverse on the left is real interesting. How about a larger pic of it?

Spinynorman

Thanks, dheath. Here is the reverse by itself.
