Check your 2009 proof set for toning. I have two sets that I purchased in 2009. I looked at them a few days ago and found some major toning, especially on the cents. These are kept with a stack of other dates of proof and mint sets. No others are toning. What do you 2009 Proof Sets look like?

The 2009 Cents reverted back to the composition of the pre '82 cents. They tend to tone faster than other years.

The proof cent set I had (sold it) was toning but can't say it was in a bad way.

I gotta check my sets, I have seem a few of my sets of different years started to slightly tone, but I think storage condition and the environment has to do with it.

My 2009 set doesn't look any different than the day I received it.

fyi...
US Mint did warn us in 2009 that the 95% copper cents would tone tend to tone faster.
I remember reading this somewhere back in 2009

I really have no idea. Every year I get Proof Sets from the Mint. I put them in a box next to the ones from the year before and are never to be seen again. I've been doing this since the 50's and have never looked at them once they go into that box.

So Carl, did you check your 1970 sets for small date?

A couple of my UK proof sets are toning. I rather like the way they're toning, so I don't really mind it. None of my U.S. proof sets show any signs of toning, though I almost wish they did because I do find toning patterns neat to observe.
It's probably a combination of local atmospheric conditions where you have your coins stored and possibly a less than perfect seal on the holder. It's not a horrible thing to happen, though.

Just wondering, has anyone seen any toning of the silver dimes and half dollars in the proof sets from 2009 yet. Is the toning noticed just on the pennies?
{edit} Is the toning of the pennies also noticed in those that are slabbed or just government proof sets?

My set (I only ordered one) still looks OK to me.

I did a little double checking today. On both 2009 Proof sets all coins show toning,strongest on the cents. My 2009 Silver Proof set shows some minor toning on one of the cents. The 2009 Mint set looks just fine. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to store these sets away from the rest.

While you all are checking your 2009 proof sets, don't forget to double check the 2009 Northern Mariana Islands silver quarter for the major die error that looks like a reflection line across "STATES OF".   Edited by clairhardesty

This looks like something similar to another member shown with his proof coin. I think Mike Diamond wrote a section in Coin World. Nice find! |

Only thing that disappointed me was that the Pres dollars have red streaks on them. I boughr a second tray though, so i'll just switch it out.
