<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 6690295, member: 68&quot;]Actually the coins in these sets are going bad and getting worse by the day.&nbsp; There probably won&#039;t be any undamaged coins in sets before too many more years.&nbsp; This especially applies to the &#039;65 to &#039;81 sets but the later ones might not be too far behind.&nbsp; Right now about 50 to 90% of the coins can still be saved depending on the date and denomination but they get worse every year. </p><p><br /></p><p>One of the reasons mint sets are so cheap is that many were poorly made and most are tarnished now.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t believe it try finding a pristine 1969 quarter in MS-63 or MS-64.&nbsp; I&#039;d guess you&#039;d need over 100 sets just to find one.&nbsp; Try finding a &#039;68 cent without carbon spots AND tarnish. </p><p><br /></p><p>These coins have been unloved for over half a century and now we&#039;re paying the price. </p><p><br /></p><p>I just hope collectors save as many of these as possible before they&#039;re all gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
