<p>[QUOTE=&quot;line_grade, post: 192123, member: 3078&quot;]Just got off the phone with some fella at the U.S. Mint and he was no help. I have just noticed that out of 10 proof sets I received from the mint in March of 2006, 9 of them are turning bad. The state quarters in 9 of the sets are beginning to show&nbsp; a little milky haze around the perimeter of the coins, mostly on the reverse but some on the obverse. I never noticed it until I went to sell a set on e-bay, and was inspecting&nbsp; all of the sets I had up for auction. I had to go through 8 of the sets before I found one I could sell. All the guy at the mint could tell me was to buy more. Now I have noticed a golden tone beginning to show up on some of the older sets and don&#039;t consider that to be a real issue, but this milky has is very distracting and appears to be a defect of some sort.</p><p><br /></p><p>Was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this on their coins or has heard of anyone else talking about it. It&#039;s just on the quarters, all the fractional coins seem to be fine. I looked at most of my other back dated sets and don&#039;t see anything like this. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
