<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1314600, member: 68&quot;]I couldn&#039;t have helped even if I saw this in time but I do like the 100Y cu/&nbsp; ni coins.&nbsp; The first couple years there were no mint sets and pristine examples are scarce and the next several years mint set mintages were quite small and the attrition high.&nbsp; Even as late as 1975 which saw high mint set mintages the attrition on these is near 100% because the packaging contains PVC which has destroyed the coins by now unless they were taken out and washed in acetone.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>From the little I can tell here in the US the coins are standing up well to circulation.&nbsp; I never see very heavily worn coins.&nbsp; The small size and the very hard metal are no doubt the reason for this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
