Learjet Pillar of the Community Australia 655 Posts	Posted 10/12/2007 03:35 am I'm thinking about getting some mint sets from a few years ago and was wondering which years used poor materials for storage, like PVC, or open to air causing toning. I notice the coins in my 1986 set has toned slightly yellow. Is this still likely to happen with present day mint sets? Report this Post to the Staff

NEAesculus New Member Australia 38 Posts	Posted 10/12/2007 03:43 am Not sure what happened to the rest of my message. I intended to say that the 20c coin seems to be affected the most. Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 10/12/2007 08:03 am Learjet, some of the 1984 & 1985 Mins sets have a funny plastic covering on them that turns really yellow. The coins are not discoloured, just the plastic. My 1986 set is fine though, but that's not to say some of them may have been made with the same plastic covering. Report this Post to the Staff
Learjet Pillar of the Community Australia 655 Posts	Posted 10/13/2007 06:23 am I think in my 1986 it's actually the coins, but it's only very slight. With some of these mint sets would it be better to take them out and put them in 2x2s? Report this Post to the Staff
Snooba Pillar of the Community Australia 1360 Posts	Posted 10/16/2007 03:52 am I have a 1988 set which has toned coins in it. Mostly it is the $1 and $2 that have dis-coloured. Report this Post to the Staff

johnsopet Valued Member Australia 153 Posts	Posted 11/13/2007 08:45 am 1984 and 1985 mint sets were shocking for the plastic going yellow but from what I have seen it thankfully doesn't affect the coins inside The storage conditions of the sets seem to affect the coins themselves not the plastic Baby mint sets for some reason in the 1990s are prone to having stained al/br coins,ie the 1 and 2 dollar coins Report this Post to the Staff
