<p>[QUOTE="chascat, post: 2532527, member: 76792"]That is a good question....I don,t know. Can you look at some and see if there is any haze around the rims? I don,t own any of these...but I would like to know. I,ve noticed the OGP silver sets have also started to haze, especially the dimes... I,ve cracked them out and carefully placed them in snap locks. The 92,s were the worst and fewer problems as they progress. I will assume that all will eventually develop haze. I live in a desert community where the air is dryer, but still keep them in air conditioned space. I,m wondering if the problem worsens if in a humid area? or if the problem is in the OGP. I plan on inspecting all of my OGP sets on a yearly schedule to gather more info. Rick Tomaska claims that sets after 1990 are safe, but I suspect that after enough time passes, problems may arise as in the silver sets. I suspect the newest OGP may be more inert in composition compared to older issues. On the other hand, if there is a lower frequency of problems, they might be due to improper handling or airborn contamination at the Mint, and no problem at all with packaging. Also, modern coining involves much less hands on if any at all, which may nearly eliminate contamination of both the coins and the holders. Sounds like a lot of fuss, but I,d like to learn and not guess the facts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
