Anyone ever see a nicely toned 1967 Canadian 5c??

I am putting together a rainbow toned 1967 PL Canadian set and having a hard time finding a nicely toned nickel. Can I expect to find a nicely toned nickel or do they typically not tone that pretty Mint set tone often seen with original sets? Thanks for your input!

Being that the Canada nickel content is higher than US counterpart, the '67 coin is pretty dark to begin with. I have had several sets through the years, and although I prefer brilliant specimens, I have never seen a nice-looking 5 cent piece, brilliant or toned.

I had a nicely toned set that was in a holder from the Montreal Expo held that year but I don't recall what the nickel looked like. You might want to keep an eye out for one of those sets.

I don't know about rainbows, but the red and black square cases that PL sets (some, anyway) were sold in that year produce pretty stunning iridescent blue toning on the nickels.
