Just added a beautiful Washie to my sets......not for the faint of heart.

I love this type of tone...nice and original...not for all I understand. Great strike and mark free surfaces. Thanks for looking and as always comments welcome.

    I too love this type of toning. It always makes me think it just got a little rusty. :D

    I have a coin with similar toning. Your Washington set must be spectacular. Need to upgrade my 63-67 set.

    I'd have given it a quick dip, but to each their own!

    Mint set tone doesn't dip off well, usually.

    It’s not for me but, I guess every coin has a collector.

    I like original toning from mint sets. Adds a layer of history/provenance to these coins that a blast white can't...nothing against blast white- I like those too, yet, originality has a certain degree of mystique that a blast white can't touch.

    Nice coin.
    For some reason 1954-D mint set quarters show up quite often with the reddish orange toning.
    On some coins it is bright red --really unusual.
