If it comes back in a few years I think I can live with that anyway. it will no doubt look different. This tallgrass prairie example I shown is...
grease makes sense. I think if it was haze alone it would be on both sides of the coin. But usually only one in these examples.
Can haze be wiped off like that anyway. I really didn’t expect that. Next time take a look at my 2007 set. Now this is toning I can appreciate!...
I think you are misunderstanding. THIS (in the photo) is NOT acceptable for a brand new proof coin. That's not normal. If it was, ALL proof coins...
I am. The coin was already screwed in the first place.
That's expected, you know. I give them a break after being over 10+ years old - Just these are new products they shouldn't look like that from the...
How does this come out from the mint looking like this and deemed acceptable was the original point of the thread. Not particularly hazing over time.
I just want one 2020/21 set that doesn't look like this fresh from the mint! Lol
I just mean it’s clear they have changed something about the fabrication of these sets in the past two years. I picked up a new set from my dealer...
So I have been taking a look at a lot of ebay listings of many 2020/21 sets AND in local shops, and more than not the coins in these past two...
Interesting. Thanks for sharing that mate :)
I somewhat agree with that. Though I buy more "raw" coins than slabbed, I only have one. I find with slabbed coins most people buy the slab not...
This, I was not aware of but makes perfect sense.
Wow that is a detailed response! This is the thing, they came from the mint this way. I can't tell honestly if they're getting worse, I hope not....
I would like to add, am noticing a pattern here. My 2020 is not as bad but needs to be replaced also. BOTH of these were purchased from the mint...
Picked this up a few minutes ago. First commemorative and first slabbed coin I own.
I do think there's nice toning, and not so nice toning. Cloudy/haziness like my brand new 2021 is very unattractive to me. Not so sure about the...
not a fan of that at all. Just showed my coin dealer my set and he offered to trade ones he’s getting in soon with mine free of charge as a thank...
this is exactly what I’m saying. I think it’s more likely it’s what they used to wash the planchets. The reverse of this dime is perfect, only the...
I assumed you just meant a "dip" hah. Cleaning is a definitely a no no and always will be for me :)
