<p>[QUOTE="NumismaticGary, post: 7767197, member: 117114"]Wow that is a detailed response! This is the thing, they came from the mint this way. I can't tell honestly if they're getting worse, I hope not. I live in the northeast US and I am aware it has been very humid here lately. They are stored in the same place, in a Rubbermaid container made out of LDPE plastic (no pvc), with silica packs, in proof set boxes, and then finally in their OGP. I store them in an air conditioned room as well with a separate dehumidifier. I really have doubts it's anything I'm doing unless I'm missing something. I can only think of spending a pretty penny on intercept proof set boxes, and getting a better container to store those in since LDPE is mostly air permeable. When I received my 2020 and the lens fell apart in my hand with basically negative effort (it usually takes some to open a set, and I never intentionally do) is when I started to question quality control and the effect of COVID on the workforce at the mint. I will certainly let you and anyone who's curious know if the replacements I can find have similar issues however.</p><p><br /></p><p>It will be interesting to see how these sets age and tone if I do end up keeping them when I get replacements.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
