Opened up a few mint bags. Interesting toning on some. Philadelphia quality inferior to Denver. No errors.

    How did the toning look?

    I have a couple bags myself. I've opened one of them and some coins have some decent golden bag toning, nothing special though.
    Haven't gone through too much of the bag yet.

    Many of them had some golden toning to them. The more interesting had a gold/pink/azure crescent toning to them. I picked out the toned ones and coinstarred the rest. I will go through the one I picked out at a later time. I am hoping to get one of each, the crescent pink/gold/azure toning on both sides.

    Hate to say it, but it sounds pretty normal to me.

    The true top pops in mint state coins are extremely rare above an MS66 grade.

    The odds of finding them in quantity are nil.

    I wonder if it is the bags or the outside cardboard boxes that is contributing to the toning.
    I've seen same thing with the Bison bags.

    I live in NC and I think I'm going to put some boxes in trunk of car and let them sit in heat/humidity for a few years and see what happens...........
