<p>[QUOTE=&quot;becky62, post: 714327, member: 15105&quot;]I received this little notice in my box with the Mint set:</p><p>:loud:</p><p><i>A messege from the United States Mint about the Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Coins contained in your 2009 US Mint Coin set:</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>Given the metallic composition used for the 2009 unc one cent coins - - the </i><i>same used for the original 1909 Lincoln cents - - </i><i>the all</i><i>oy readily tarnishes. The US Mint has used anti-tarnish trea</i><i>tments to minimize this impact on the appearance of the unc coins. However, the alloy used for the one-cent coins in this years unc set is expected to tarnish more over time than the previous years plated zinc one cent coins.</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That&#039;s all the notice says, no real explanation. So there you go, they don&#039;t know either, lol. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
