That's very cool. I haven't found one that wasn't cloudy with color yet.

Any thoughts on what gave it such a wild coloration? I've never seen one with neon blue before.

Not a clue! It's also the first one I've ever seen.

I had a bunch of proof sets, in mint holders - almost all from the 1990's, that were turning blue like this. The blue was a ring "growing" in about 25% coverage. Not as covered as yours is Russ. The sets were all in a box in the basement at my mother's house, which got flooded a few years ago. The coins were above the flood line and stayed in their box until a year ago. Perhaps all that extra moisture (and mildew?) helped cause the blueness. I sold them all to get other coins so I unfortunately I can't show them. Maybe leaving a proof set near a shower for a few years might reproduce it? Who knows?

If any had looked as nice as the one Russ has I would have kept them. Really cool coin!

That is a purty color. Over time do the toned coins take on more coloring after they are encased? Don't know much about them obviously.

I don't like it
That's because I don't own it!

I bought a Proof Set for the Kennedy it had. This was in the same set
