<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zekeguzz, post: 1048688, member: 15455&quot;]I was checking my 2001 mint set for the sacagawea grade. Upon eyeballing all coins I find that the state quarters have a very slight goldish tint and a slight hazy fogginess around the rims. It is dissapointing to say the least. My scanner really doesn&#039;t do well on mint and silver sets or slabbed coins. Can&#039;t bring out the siver color without major editing which ruins everything.. Only a camera can really show this discoloration or toning. I believe as years go by the haze will completey cover the quarters. I would also guess the goldish toning will increase also.</p><p>I bought mint sets on Ebay last year last year and immediately vacuum sealed them in </p><p>food saver polyethylene bags that I cut to fit. Upon checking other mint sets I find the 1999 has the same problems. The 2000 and 2002 sets are okay.</p><p>What causes this this? Is there something I could havge done to cause this? The sets were air tight and dry. Has anyone else seen this problem? I&#039;m not sure now whether the sets came this way and I just didn&#039;t see it or something.--------------zeke[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
