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.

I bought one of these sets last year and I'll now have to dig it out and report back.

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.

Every set seems to do the same thing, some worse than others. Check out the topic below,

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.

Here is the other 5 cent with similar toning.
