43 Reviewing 1959 Armour coin colors


It's been awhile since we looked at 59 colors so I though I'd look at those again. While the 59 set holds the lowest value ( no variations and no Mantle or Mays) of the 3 sets, it is the most colorfull (in my opinion) and has many colors that are very difficult to find. Pale blue and grey/green have always been rare, but recently they have become super rare. Pale oj, pale red, burnt orange, dk yellow, cream and brown  are certainly in the super rare category. There is a separate blog on dk red, dk grey/blue and dk green with the green being rare but the easiest of the 3 to find. The pale green opaques are hard to find and always come with a white swirl. We have confirmed 3 shades of pink as you can see in the chart below and 2...maybe 3 blue shades of confetti.


The color chart below is the best I have done for the 3 years since all the colors look true.

Is the burnt orange really a dark orange to make the full dark set of red, orange, yellow, green and blue ? Your thoughts..should that include dk pink maybe ?

Should another grouping be pale red, pale orange, pale yellow, pale green, pale blue and pale pink ? If so why is the pale yellow so much more common ??

Why are the confetti coins only in blue ??

If your a collector try getting one of each color or a set of all 20 coins each in a different color. In my opinion much "coole" than having a set all in navy or all in orange, but that's just my opinion.

...feel free to comment on which of the rare colors you might have. If anyone has a pale blue Malzone or Cerv...talk to me ...
