<p>[QUOTE=&quot;walterallen, post: 186626, member: 4068&quot;]I recently purchased a 1962 mint set from a local dealer and before I bought it I did notice there was something going on with the nickels from both mints, but I bought it anyway since it was the only one he had and the price was not outrageous but fair.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have two issues with these nickels mostly with the 1962D. </p><p><br /></p><p>First is what looks like PVC on the coin. It has a greenish color, not easy to see in the pics. </p><p>Second is the very weak strike of the reverse steps, or is this wear/damage of sorts?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is the apperence of PVC, if that is what it is, possible on a coin that has been in cello from the mint for last 45 years or so? What else could have caused this?</p><p>Was 1962 a bad year for full steps/strong strike? Did someone pull a switch down the road on this set?</p><p><br /></p><p>For the record the rest of the coins are in great shape. No signs of PVC, nice normal BU coins with minimal or no contact marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please give me you honest input. I&#039;m courious as hell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
