		Pennies struck from 1961 to 1967 can tone and discolour very easily due to the change in metal composition. Most of our coins graded AU95, AU85-90 & AU75-85 come from Mint sealed bags. Over 90% of these coins we grade at AU85-90 Very occasionally a coin can be better than normal and these we grade at AU95 Some have streaky lustre, etc. and are graded down to AU75-85 ~~~~~~~~~~ MOST people will not be able to notice the difference between the AU95 & AU85-90 Also now that they are exposed to the air the AU95 could easily become AU85-90's !
