[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 574791, member: 4350"]Hi, All the coins were plated and unfortunately were not part of a "Mint Set" but were placed in an after market holder after the coins were plated. This is also known as reprocessed. This was done to coins after they left the Mint in order to make them saleable after they were worn a bit. The re-plating causes the doubled look on the mintmarks and often on other details. I hope you didn't get charged too much, the coins that are reprocessed are technically damaged and are worth about five cents each. Many times it was done to a coin with rust. The coins are not what they appear to be. They are sometimes sold as uncirculated but of course, they are not. The fact that you think that these are a part of a "Mint Set" indicates that the seller did not have enough information on these before he sold them to you. In fact you can see spots of rust coming through again on the 1943 D piece. My guess is that they were in something similar to this: Note, this one has a copyright date of 1993 on the back of the holder's insert. Yours might have something similar.
