Interesting 1963 Proof Set

Lori

I won this 1963 proof set with a interesting half in it. Any thoughts on this? What would cause just that part to rainbow tone that way?

Thanks for the info.

Is there a hole in the cellophane?

HMM...I wonder if the toning patch will look similar to this:



When you get it, be sure and do one of your nice images and we can compare.

It just seems odd that it would be in that one spot and not the whole coin. Can't wait to get it.

I will post pictures when it arrives.

Since it's still in the cello, I can't help but think the exposure that allowed toning in such a limited fashion has probably damaged the surface of the coin. Is it your intent to try and slab this coin?

Usually, when you see that pattern it is due to a small hole in the cello.

The ad does state that there is a hole in the cello. Depends what else was near or what environment they were all stored in. I would have to withold judgement until I saw better pics - the seller's pics do absolutely nothing for the coin. I too would like to see pics once it arrives. Good Luck! Dave

I've seen dozens of sets with a similar toning spot. Every time there was a hole in the plastic wrapper. Sometimes the spots have very vibrant colors.
