<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 24548478, member: 68&quot;]Most of them aren&#039;t too hard in the mint set but the mint sets won&#039;t be around forever.&nbsp; By the time people start trying to put together sets the &#039;82 to &#039;84 issues could be gone.&nbsp; The &#039;84-D comes OK in the set but more than half are spotted and the remainder aren&#039;t always pretty.&nbsp; The Philly is the real problem because most of them have rough uneven surfaces.&nbsp; The &#039;82 and &#039;83 rolls are common but most of the coins are tarnished, spotted, and corroded now days.&nbsp; The others are ugly.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Really, all the early zincolns are tougher than people realize. The &#039;84-P might be legitimately rare unless they appear in rolls and&nbsp; I&#039;ve spot checked a bunch of rolls without any luck.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I find the zinc coins in circulation an embarrassment; not only because they are filthy corroded little slugs but they represent a system geared not to efficiency and productiveness but to waste and greed.&nbsp; History will frown on us because of them.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if anyone will ever want to collect them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
