john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 8:07 pm I picked up a few of these sets today, unfortunately they didn't have the envelope. They seem to demand a premium although I am unsure why, but if you look at the 5 cent I think other than price to package this may be one of the reasons they never went into full production with this packaging. Both the penny and nickel have a frost like toning to them. Report this Post to the Staff

Fixguy Pillar of the Community Canada 532 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 10:30 pm Sure enough...Same thing here but only on the 1 and the 5. It looks kind of neat. I also noticed a dot or damage on the dime at about the 9 o'clock area. Glad they didn't stick with this style but the coins finish with the frosting is amazing for a defect.

john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 11/07/2014 11:42 am It is a very cool effect, apparently it seems to be happening with all of these sets so it must be some kind of reaction to the packaging. The other set I have has an even more interesting pattern that has formed, I will post pics when I have a chance. Report this Post to the Staff
