As you know, I collect coins from 1958. Here are two NGC 1958-D Roosies I got this last week. COMMONLY the D mint Roosies will tone with reds and greens. The P mint Roosies tend to get purples and blues. I was very happy to be able to get both coins, but the blue toned D mint is quite the rarity. The red one is MS67 (I've sent it in for designation review hoping to, at a minimum get a star, and maybe even a FT). The blue one is MS67FT, and I may send it in at some point in time to try and get a star.

Didn't I see them last Sunday?

Nope, just got 'em.

What you say about the toning of the D vs. P mints is spot on. I have a 1957 mint set where all of the P's are blue/purple and the D's are red/green. You can tell what mint any of the silver coins are simply by looking at the color.

Yes I have officially been in the toned coin long enough to have some of my old coins pop up from time to time. As a toned coin lover....we all recognize our old treasures.....I sold the coin to Criag at least 2 or 3 years ago and I got it from Brian Wagner.....I am part of the coins provanance....aren't I special
Skyman, just get a 25c, 5c, and 1c to match. That woud be one hell of a nice set. I, and many others for sure, would love to see it.

Would you settle for a 50c?

I was wondering this too. If the planchets are the same, why does this happen? Coincidence? What do the chemistry experts have to say?

Not that I know of. Isn't there a drink called fire and ice?
