is this set an experimental package? If so I've seen this before, I think its just a reaction to the packaging. No premium as far as I know. Still cool though.
Feel free to call me Will.

thedollarman is correct, it's from the experimental plastic set. This seems to happen to the nickels and pennies. It's easily identified by the hard plastic sleeve, and if I remember correctly the COA is in plastic as well, no loose. I have a couple sets at home, as well as some pennies which have been removed, the scratch like striations will remain on the coin so I do not recommend cutting them out.

It's not a proof set, it's a BU(PL) set in special experimental packaging found only in 1985,the proof set had seven coins in a large black,leatherette case.
Looks like environmental damage as stated by fed_ink85.I haven't looked at mine in many years,hope this problem is not universal.
