We need a little more humor around here.

Very nice indeed.

I have never seen coins in SMS set holders toned like that.
Sadly the 66 and 67 SMS holders are not sealed and the coins are easily removed and replaced.
The colors on yours are nice but i would suspect they were not original to those holders.
Just my opinion tho.

Do you think they are PVC damaged? How does the NT happen if they are in Plastic? Just curious.

Those don't come in envelopes. They come in plastic holders that are easy to pop open and cook the coins - and that is done all the time.
But, as Deadhorse said in his followup post, they look NT. The Lincolns are particularly pretty.

I have no clue whether these are natural or not.

Probably the right thing to do on both the toning AND the multiholder

I knew it would happen.
You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.
Seriously, those are some SWEET toners, and I am not a toner guy by any measure!

as usual, the expert tpgs just guess if it is NT or AT.
they slab a bunch but dis one in the group. the most interesting
one to boot.
ironic.
<< <i>That is disappointing. Did you send it in the mint packaging? If that's the case I wish TPG's would get a system together to realize they are NT. The problem usually is they get cut out and put into flips before they even get to the graders and they have no idea that they came straight from the mint packaging. >>
The only packaging these SMS came in were easily opened hard plastic cases.

That is how I sent them in. The part that upset's me is that the cent was deemed NT while the Half gets BB'd for AT. Why?

because experts just guess if a coin is AT or NT. simple answer really.
they think people are out there coloring common coins so they can
make a buck off their good name. you wanted them to grade and
authenticate the coin but instead they body bag it for odd colors.
hilarious.
It's sad because some really great NT coins have to be dipped to get in a slab.

To clarify, the 1966 and 1967 sets were packaged in clones of the Whitman 5 coin snap-lock holders. The coins could be removed, messed with, or replaced with non SMS coins, and the holders could be snapped back together UNDETECTABLY. So there is no such thing as a SEALED holder and these coins are judged very harshly by the grading companies for that reason.

So if these would have been 65 sms the Half might have graded?
