Somewhat more frequent toned look for the 1957-D mint sets. The 1955 have seemed to be more muted/grayed, the 1956 and 1958 have seemed, to me at least, to be less vibrant greenishly toned.
I'd be surprised if it was anything other than 1958. These mint sets toned like that much more often than other dates. 1959 through 1963 are seen with album or roll toning since the Mint switched to cellophane packaging after 1958.

Tell you what....if that's a 49d Franklin and it graded gem, you'd be looking at a thousand dollar coin easy.

<< <i>Sweet set. The funny thing I've never understood is that the "D" mint coins in these sets always tone better than the Philly halves. >>
I agree, for the most part the D mint tone nicer,
But when you find a nice Philly toned is a lot of fun
