This listing is for the photographed set of 1957 Canadian Coins. In its original case, these coins are BU / prooflike, and have toned over time. To read more about coin toning, please see below. Great set, relatively rare find these days.
Coin Toning:
Toning on a coin is the change of colour brought about through oxidization, which forms a thin layer of tarnish on the metal's surface. Coin toning can vary in aesthetics, and thus can alternately add or detract from a coin's value. Coins with unusual toning colours or patterns tend to be valued by coin collectors. Toning is most common on silver coins, but can be found on coins minted from other metals and alloys, including gold, copper and cupronickel.
