fredm New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 06/12/2009 7:13 pm I have bought 2 of these and noticed that both separated very easily. I didn't notice this on purpose, I heard it when I picked it up then noticed the corner of the plastic holder came up easily. Did someone cherry pick these holders then sell them? The other part of the sets (half, dime, etc) were completely solid. Report this Post to the Staff

fredm New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 06/12/2009 7:26 pm set is 2005. I pulled a quarter out of one and it was not clad looking. I just rotated it in the cardboard to see the edge. I guess I will get some Air-Tite holders. Report this Post to the Staff

ceaton Pillar of the Community United States 1179 Posts	Posted 06/12/2009 9:16 pm I think the mint's plastic holders are all very flimpsy and weakly sealed. I've broke open every set I've ever owned to put in airtites because the holder is crap for keeping the air out. So I dont know, if the set has been handled alot, it might just be lose because thats how they are in my opinion. doesn't hurt to check them out. Report this Post to the Staff
crain300 Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 06/13/2009 09:49 am i have thought of that myself replacing the mint packing with airtight would this reduce the value of the set? Report this Post to the Staff
