I suspect that you will be pleasantly surprised by the half dollar, dime and cent in the 1966 SMS set.

The half looks like it has multicolored rainbow toning on both sides of the coin. If this type of toning is present and the half dollar itself has a "Satin" appearance on both the fields and the devices [this is one possible appearance for SMS halves], along with good luster and minimal marks, you will have a "WINNER".

The dime looks like it has a very attractive golden tone on both sides.

The cent also looks multi colored on at least part of the obverse. The color may be very attractive and imbedded onto/into the surface of the coin. Or it may be floating on top of the coin and ugly.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of these coins when the set arrives.

Looks promising. The dime and the cent both have something going on there too.

With the updated pics id bet my life the coin is AT and would of BB. That color on that half is the easiest colors to reproduce artificially.

perhaps you should change the thread title to "Stump the Experts" or something along those lines. to be honest, the "tone" isn't that attractive to my eye but i suppose you took a chance that it was nicer in-hand than the seller's pictures depicted, the gamble just didn't pay off this time.

.....yup!
