[QUOTE="Max, post: 144682, member: 6004"]Hi y'all! I don't know if I'm having a good observation but it seems that older mint sets (specially from Canada) are in ... relatively bad state! :eek: For example, I just received my mint set 1965... sealed in a Royal Canadian Mint plastic... and well.. the nickel coins look great, but the 1¢ looks dirty!!! Why is that so? I had a lil bit earlier this month another set about that old and the coins were also not looking very clean... :whistle: Is the same thing happening to USA mint sets? It that that the old plastic they used had PVC in it? Should I store them in something else ASAP? I'm asking all this because... IMHO, mint sets should look MS-something! Not just Extremely Fine........ I'll add pictures if you request so. Thanks for any advice!!! I'm a bid taken aback by this. Max :cool:[/QUOTE]
