<p>[QUOTE="Squirrel, post: 141103, member: 5920"]I have a 1999 US Mint proof set that I purchased when they first started issuing the 50 State Quarters sets. It is in it's origional box and I had it locked up. Last night I got my coins out and was looking at them when I noticed something strange. The nickel, dime, and half dollar all have a gold color to them on the mirror surface while the raised heads are silver. The gold color is also on the mirror surface on the reverse with the raised portions being silver. Also the gold color seems to be a little bit into Rosevelt's hair on the dime and across Jefferson's shoulders and touching his hair also. Thats not all. On the nickel, when you flip it over , Monticello is rotated 45 degrees to the left. There is no smudging or odd strike marks. It is a perfectly clear mint. What is up with this strange set of proof coins and what type of value range should they generate? Any help would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
