I get random proofs quite often at my package store. Guess people get bored of their proof sets and break them open for cigarettes or beer. :P
Not just haze in general, haze on these specific new items. Hazing has always been an issue like you said. Was just reading that the 2020 set is...
It could be dust on the holder. Hard to tell if it's on the actual coin.
Got one of those infamous "brown ikes" with some decent toning on it! Quite like the thing it has character! Would have loved to buy one in the...
Would you find it acceptable to keep a set that looks like this? Or would you return it to either get your money back or another set? I sure hope...
I understand that fact. The point I originally wanted to make is that these brand new coins should not already come this way unless the mint is...
oh I’ve seen those holders. Not a fan of the fit, bought them, tried them, and put them in storage. Lol
then why do you suppose the Ike’s toned up when the Morgans did not? I do not like the idea that it’s ALWAYS the collectors fault.
This is the series that got me into coin collecting
Those brown Ike’s were pretty infamous for that huh. Wonder what the difference in the chemical makeup is in the plastic used vs the GSA Morgans.
I personally prefer the look of the first obverse change with Jefferson looking to the right. Not much of a fan of coins with people looking...
Haze would be the start of toning. Eventually you can’t wipe it off or render it invisible.
Jeez I didn’t mean to start a debate. It looks like haze, maybe it is maybe it isn’t. I personally think they just changed up the type of plastic...
I don’t think many people are buying proof sets anymore in general do you? They’ve kinda gone out of style. It’s not the 70s and 80s anymore.
think my lcs said it perfectly. “They are getting cheaper” cheaper plastic, lenses that open too easily. The W nickel and cent that came with the...
I do think you are onto something with de-gassing. I did note that when I opened the set I had there was an awful smell that seemed to be coming...
I think you're in denial defending them, no offense. I searched through 25 of the 2021 proof sets yesterday and 23 of them had EXTREME "haze" -...
I actually don't. I don't like graded/slabbed coins, I like them raw! lol But I do have a few in my collection, all Morgan dollars, that I do...
You are an incredibly knowledgeable individual. Thank you for all the responses. I hope you know I appreciate you! Most of these are actual haze,...
I understand where you’re coming from but it is my coin. However next time I will use MS70 or some kind of dip. I would still consider it harmed...
