This proof set is hot!

Hope you are staying cool!

This proof set caught my eye and I picked it up for $2.50 about a week ago. Counting the coins inside it cost me $1.59 so why not?

Well I left it in my car when I got busy with work.

Well we went from a mild winter last week in Dallas to blazing summer today. I found this when I got in my car after work.

Before:



And After:






Thanks for looking. Enjoy a nice patio and a beverage. Today is the day. Make yours a great one!

Oh man..... Well I think we should make a link to this thread for when folks ask how to open the mint plastic. Easy answer..... Hot car interior...... I am mixing my beverage now, thank you.

 

Whoa...wow...wonder how they will tone

 

Interesting...

 

Looks like a rare mint error that will demand a high premium on ebay!

 

Ouch!

 

Did it bust open? Looks like it.

 

Plastic was hard when I found it even though it was pretty much the hottest hour of the day. Still sealed with no cracks or breaks. It’s just melted and deformed. The bubble is furthest in front of the dime.

 

I was just about to post this, but you beat me to it!

It does look interesting; @kSigSteve just made a fairly average proof set quite unique!

 

Too bad you didn’t come out to rainbow toners. Maybe add a little sulfur and moisture

 

lol, that'll learn ya.....

 

I gotta try that. Hold my beer.....

 

Im at a really nice Ramada inn, drinking an adult beverage sitting in the hot tub.

To keep it coin related, those '84 -'87 proofsets can acquire some nice toning on occasion, i like that Kennedy

 

I’m not surprised. I once lived in Dallas and I know what you mean by a hot summer day in Big D.

 

91 cent loss. That's rough.

 

Yeah, well I'm in a cardboard box under an overpass sipping Faygo-brand soda pop from a hubcap... I think the 1998 set is better.

 

Oh yea, i got thrown out of the hotel, for imsufficient funds. I had to sell my coin collection to buy this computer I'm on and I don't have internet anymore

 

did the coins melt and warp with the container ?

 

I'm pretty sure there's a differential melting point when it comes to coins and plastic, lol.
