<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 7822383, member: 117420"]Sounds like you haven't had these...or proof sets from that era...for long, and if you don't know how they've been stored by previous owners and/or subjected to, if not well, it could be problematic, esp if cells are not intact. That said, if none of the others/other coins besides those you mentioned are having any issues and you can store them in a cool dry, non-contaminate place, I'd monitor them regularly for a while...at least once monthly. I have dozens from that era of flat-paks and few (coins) out of all of them have any major issues of spots or toning. I know the 36-55 box sets had an issue with the OGP plastics, but don't believe the flat paks of 55-64 did...a definite improvement in materials. If possible, I'd keep them in the original cello/flat paks...I'd pay more for them as sets if they were, and you can never go back...but that's me. To each their own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
