<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 1361056, member: 23692&quot;]There are still many with the gold coin intact, but maybe not in the US.&nbsp; When gold peaked (or seemed to peak) a few years ago, many sold the gold coin as scrap, the same way that many of the silver ones went into the pot from general circulation or Maple Leafs.&nbsp; The material (felt-like) that they used for the interior of those sets toned the coins strangely, some a nice blue-violet, but others hazy and cloudy, depending upon the amount of moisture in the storage space where they are kept.&nbsp; Most collectors remove the coins to preserve them and either keep or throw-away the case for final sale.&nbsp; There are other years that the RCM used weird materials for proof or proof-like sets that toned coins unnaturally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
