<p>[QUOTE="walterallen, post: 128951, member: 4068"]I am a collector of proof sets both in the original packaging and break outs. When I started collecting proof sets I swore I'd never breakout a set, but after a while that attitude changed, because I dislike the way the packaging from the mint displays the coins. I perfer my own displays. Now I have a complete set of unopened proof sets dating back to 1955 as well as breakout sets. Educating yourself on grading proof coins is a good place to start so that you can send higher grades to be graded and slabbed. I personnely do not need to spend more money to have someone tell me I have a great coin. Of course I don't sell coins I "collect". Cameos and Deep Cameos in the older coins will bring a premium if graded as such, outside of the PR 65-70 status. </p><p>As for your 2006 quarters it sounds like mosture like from them being exposed to hot them cold is building up and oxidation on the metal. If they were mine I would take them out and dip them BUT unless you know what you are doing you can ruin a coin fast doing that. You could just buy another set that is problem free.</p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
