[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1556010, member: 68"]I'm in general agreement. I'm not so much accusing the mint of lying but the best you can say is the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing and they seem to be intentionally suppressing information on mint sets. Perhaps the only people who know about mint sets at the mint never get a voice though. I'm not certain it's important whether it's actually PVC or not inside the mint sets since whatever it is seems to be having a deliterious effect on the coins. For some reason the coins inside the pre-'85 mint sets are tarnishing and removoing them from the packaging and stabilizing them seems to help (at least in the shorter term). The proof sets aren't always pristine and they certainly aren't exposed to PVC or the edges would be a fright. The mint hasn't done an especially good job of communicating with collectors since 1965 though they have been improving for well over a decade.[/QUOTE]
