eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 05/08/2009 08:50 am Haven't seen this yet on mine.......but......then again......as soon as I get a proof set, it goes down to the bank, into their vault, and in the SDB ! I'm assuming this damage described is environmental/humidity. I say this since I see that these Proof coins have been "cracked" from their proof casings, and are presently contained in a "non-airtight" 2x2. Keeping "the weather out" would be very difficult if this is going to be a typical trait to the Presidential dollars.... Mine stay where they are for now, but eventually I plan to "crack em" and put them into an album to have a nice "Proof showcase" of these. I guess also wrapped in aluminum foil and ziplock baggies !! ... Edited by eaglefoot 05/08/2009 09:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 05/08/2009 11:13 am These I won on ebay from a local dealer I received them in hard flips. which led me to believe it was due to handling. But I have seen them in the original Government holders doing the same thing. Just weird Report this Post to the Staff

Just weird Yeah.......I "have" some that have "leaked air" ! ...... Several of my old Proof and Mint Sets have bad enviro. damage. Eisenhower Proof Sets.....Uncirc Sets....numerous materials from the 60's & 70's.....even leaks in the "blister plastic" wrappings ......they were like that when I " inherited" them.....but nonetheless......it goes to show that if they are NOT kept/stored in a "low humidity" place........THE UGLY DEATH OF COIN CANCER AND/OR TARNISHMENT CAN/WILL STRIKE ! And even in low humidity places.......certain gases can still infect them as well..... You must have "several" lines of defense ! Quote: The OGP proof cases are not air tight either! True, of course ! But Original Govt. Packaging is certainly better than an "open air" folder or a 2x2 ! ... .... I can just see a future market now !..........
