<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Modern Commens, post: 1253956, member: 20737&quot;]I have an original 1958 mint set I purchased on ebay a while back. The Grey Sheet lists the entire set at $125.00. I think I paid $102.00. A previous owner placed tape on the back of the paper (the tape easily pulled away, there was no adhesive left, so I am sure it was pretty old also) to cover the tears. The coins in the slots (where the tape was placed) have this dark chocolate brown (like the color of bittersweet chocolate) almost black sections on them. Near the rim is where the coins are nearly black. I have just read &#039;Coin Chemistry&#039; by Weimar White and I have no doubt that, if not already, the deposits (silver sulfides?) will damage the coins. I do not think they are valuable enough to send to a professional. Any thoughts Jim?</p><p>Eric[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
