Back in the late 70s when I was in Jr. High, I collected BU Roosevelt Dimes and Washington Quarters --- buying 3 or 4 a month, sending 2 or 3 bucks in cash to my favorite "dealer" (some guy in the Air Force selling off singles from BU rolls). If I had a "big" order (over $5) I would have my Dad write a check. I housed the coins in a nice Whitman Classic album.

Well, I completed about 80% of the silver Roosies, and kept the album in my safe ever since. I knew the coins toned, but did not realize how much until I pulled the album out a few days ago. I was quite pleased with the colors!! In this case I can say the coins are abolutely NT! image (or I took 28 years to AT them). Here is how some of them turned out:
