47 Review of 1960 Armour Coin colors



Finishing up our review of  coin colors...it is now time to take a look at 1960 colors. As you know, the 1960 coins are divided into 2 groups...
(1) the Aaron group with :
Aaron - Braves
Aaron Milw Braves
Banks
Crandall
Fox
Malzone Red Sox
Malzone Boston Red Sox
Mantle
Triandos


The Aaron group comes in the common colors of red, red/oj, yellow, dk green, lime green, royal blue and pale blue as well as the other rare colors shown below except dk yellow and mustard yellow.

(2) the Allison group contains the rest of the players. The Allison group (so far) appears in common yellow and common red/oj and the rare dk yellow and mustard (darker)yellow. As we have discussed in previous blogs, 3 ultra rare lime green coins (Colovito, Wynn and Mays) have appeared oer the last decade.

 Also as we have previously discussed at least 50% and possibly as many as >75% of the mantle coins come with partial back rims making them defective.


             ...WATCH OUT FOR PSA GRADED COINS WITH PARTIAL BACK RIMS...


No one appears to have a grey/blue Mantle with a complete back rim and I have only seen (1) royal blue Mantle with complete back rim and I quickly grabbed it.


More so than 1955 or 1959, 1960 has many coins which we call trans (transparent) Below is a shot of some of the ones that I have. red/oj...yellow...medium green...lime green..dk green....navy blue and pale blue. with both direct light and back light. Close ups re to show you that you actually can read the back of the coins.

Daley has always been reported as the rarest coin in the set. Prices which used to be I nthe $750 range have recently come down to the $4-500 range. 10+ years ago Daley coins appeared on the market that did not match ANY of the known colors shown here. In previous blogs I have shown you some of these coins. They were labeled as "test" coins and many sold for > $1000.  I have repeated a photo of some of them below. Many believe they are fakes.
