I collect mostly franklin proof half dollars so i do buy alot of 1950-1963 proof sets. I totally forgot at one time i put some in an album and left them in my closet. I found the album today and boy is there alot of toners. I counted over 30 coins but only took a pic of a few of them. I should of took them out of the album but i left them in so the pics arent the best. Enjoy!

So were those caused by the folder? There's a lot of variety there!

i'm in the process of assembling a set of toned Proof Jefferson Nickels and have found that they color up quite nicely. one of the best sources is the stock of Capital Holdered Proof Sets that most dealers have and/or you can find at almost every show in abundance. the trick is finding coins that resemble each other, mainly with the concentric rim toning with a rainbow wash. also commom are the type of coins you've listed, generally from the late 50's through the late 60's and found still in the cello.

clip, switch, save, resell is the name of the game i'm playing.

These coins where stored in an old library of coins album. Sometimes they tone wicked in the original cello but it is rare.

When they went in they where white. Like stated above they where stored in an old library of coins album. I think maybe the variety came from dipping some of them. Some had a little haze i think and i may have dipped them and acetoned the coins then just put them in. This was a few years ago so i dont really remember I have some nice franklin toners that toned from the same type of album. IMO they tone the best in them. oh here is one of the franklins

actually it's more common then you've evidentally seen, perhaps you haven't looked at enough sets. the years that are most prevalent seem to be 1961 and 1962 although i've found vibrant neon colors on sets from 1957-1964. coins from those years reputedly toned as a result of the Mint experimenting with different rinses for the planchets,then a reaction took place inside of the cello. the newer issues in the 1968 and later dates also tend to tone dependant on storage and i've found nice Nickels and clad coins in them.

the Jeffersons pictured below are from the noted storage medium which caused the tone we now see.

1. 1961-----taken from a Capital Holder Set.
2. 1964-----clipped from an intact Proof Set.
3. 1967-----dealer stock, in a stapled cardboard/mylar 2x2 stored in a plastic binder pocket.
4. 1972-----taken from an intact Proof Set.
5. 1990-----dealer stock box, cardboard/mylar 2x2 in a row box.
