<p>[QUOTE="Clint, post: 1437808, member: 34620"]I've picked up some silver proof sets in which the half, quarter and/or dime have spotted toning near the edges. I thought the price was right, since I picked them up close to spot, and got a few pretty nickels and pennies to boot. But now I don't know what to do with them, since they really aren't anything to look at, in the current packaging. Some are in the original flat-pack, but most are in aftermarket hard sandwich holders with plastic screws (like Capital acrylic ones...may be them!)</p><p><br /></p><p>For starters, I wonder if the holder didn't contribute to the spotty toning, since they are consistent in appearance. Some are getting hazy. Next, I wonder what can be done to preserve/conserve those pieces, whether acetone and/or new packaging, just keep/sell 'em as junk, or what...what would you do?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
