Spots on Kennedy

Just going through some of my previous purchases and noticed these spots on both obverse and reverse of a 1967 SMS Kennedy. Can anybody tell me what it might be from? The set is still sealed in the original flat and kept in the bland government packaging.

And as it so happens, I bought a 1966 SMS at the same time only to discover now that the Kennedy is missing the "FG" on the reverse. Happy with both sets, as I got them for $8 each!

The government packaging can be opened and is not airtite.

 

Well that stinks! What do you think that yellowish looking stuff could be? I didn't have much luck looking it up online, but I'm not privy to particular sites for this kind of stuff, so I just hit Google and scroll through the results.

 

I think it was raw at one time. That’s when that poor coin was sneezed on.

 

Haha! It kind of looks like it!

Hotdog with mustard maybe?

 

Everyone thinks that it is online videos and clickbait sites that have all the knowledge. That is far from the truth. I have found more knowledge reading threads on CT from folks that have years of collecting under their belts. Some 50 or more. Reading other's threads and responses even if it isn't a topic you are interested in, it is encouraged. There are small tidbits of knowledge that you start putting together.

Exactly what I thought.

Lets see a photo.

 

About to eat dinner here and I've got a small job to get ready for inspection tomorrow but I'll post some pictures of it soon!

 

Carpenter?

 

Electrician, but I am paired up with a carpenter and we work together at times.

 

Fun, I am a Carpenter. I love playing Sparkie.
As a Handyman I am sorry that you are having to be inspected, and not that it is a bad thing, just more about the money than needed in most cases.

 

By the way I think that $10 is about average for a SMS set. Every now and then you find a set that blows all the others away that you have seen. It is easy to overlook problems, just because it is only $10.

 

I'm not really upset or worried about the inspection. I've been in the trade for over 22 years now and was brought up in the ibew. Left when work dried up and they kicked me and my family off the health insurance. Been flying solo since 2017. In the union, I was apprentice, then journeyman and worked my butt off, ended as a foreman. In that time I worked in malls, schools, pharmaceutical plants including clean-room areas, turnpike, a nuke plant, and tons others so I'm pretty well-versed for a little residential inspection.

 

What did ya have for Dinner? LOL
There are some good cooks in this thread.

Chicken noodle soup and garlic bread was dinner last night. I make my own stock (chicken, turkey, and beef in rather large batches, and lamb stock in smaller quantities) and use it for lots of different recipes. It's really tasty when turned into soup though!

I'll take a look at that thread after work today, thanks! I do enjoy cooking... almost as much as I enjoy eating!!

 

Here it is, along with the rest of the SMS. I can't tell if the mark are on the flat or the coins though. Looking like another snow day tomorrow so maybe I'll get bored enough to crack these open to take a look.

 

Just an offhand thought. Does the mint do any sort of rinse of these coins destined to go in mint sets? I don’t know and have never given it any thought or research.

 

I think I’d leave them in the mint casing. Nothing really stands out as a strong enough coin to break the set.

 

That's what is really getting my curiosity going. My recent post regarding my Washington proof dealt with something similar to this. The government packaging was cloudy and I couldn't see any details on the quarter contained inside the cellophane, so I opened it up to find a beautiful coin.

This package, as well as the 1967, is getting inside my head that some of them might actually be hiding something from view. I have direct-fit capsules for everything but the quarter, but I can fudge them into a larger capsule and fill the void with the foam insert.

I'll see how bored I get tomorrow before I make the decision on opening them or not, but I don't do well when these choices are to be made and I have nothing else to do!

 

Coin measles. Really, tough break on that.

 

There seems to be a little of the FG on the reverse. Could be just a bit of a filled die. Hard to tell thru the plastic.
