Check out this ridiculously toned sms I won

rd5425

This just came in today and I've got to say it is phenomenal, The pictures in the auction do no justice at all, the penny has beautiful purple and violet toning on the revers and blue and pink on the obverse, its amazing, I've determined that the half and the penny are real but the dime is just so amazing that I am having doubts wheather it is real or not. Before I send them in to pcgs, I would like to here some oppinions. Thanks

I have a couple 1966 SMS sets that have color as well - both of mine have a lighter blue. What sets these apart from my other SMS is that the containers are not sealed very well and some moisture/humidity has gotten inside, and on one of them even changing the color on the eagle seal hologram.

On mine I am assuming normal mint processing and later storage, but have not ruled out completely that a switchero has taken place.

I'm not a toning freak. I like a little of it, but not the streaky, blotchy, uneven, or mottled junk that people are so crazy about these days. A bit of color is a good thing, but people have lost their heads.

I expected to see something I didn't like when I opened your thread. I was gonna look, then keep my mouth shut, and wander on.

HOWEVER,

To my surprise, I found myself very impressed and think you got some absolutely gorgeous coins.

If they're for real. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to judge that. Even if they aren't real, they're pretty.

I truly think the dime is real; that said, I truly think PCGS will not grade it.

Great looking set!!!

There is some astounding toning on lots of the SMS coins. The cents
are often quite stunning. That one looks pretty nice.

lordmarcovan

Yeah- it's the cent that got my attention.

(If you get praise from an ogre like me who thinks a lot of this rainbow-toning craze is madness, then you can consider it well-won, maybe...)

You want to flop the set and make $40?

That is a very nice set. I guess I need to watch ebay more often. I've seen a lot of good deals the past week from ebay. You lucky auctioneers.
