Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/15/2017 1:06 pm Too bad, ED. Must have gotten moisture inside, looks like you've got a nasty carbon spot on Abe. Might just as well crack the set, try an acetone bath, maybe it'll help prevent any further deterioration, maybe... Carbon spots, you're sunk...like rust its attached to impurities in the planchet, can't get rid of it entirely. Don't know @ the "toning", some ~~idiots~~, er, folks prefer some toning...as said elsewhere, " toning is just improper storage". Check for DDO'S!

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 03/15/2017 1:22 pm To bad about the Lincoln ... I don't think that one can be saved. FYI ... not a mint set ... that one is a proof set. I like the toning on the dime and quarter. My guess is the set was not stored properly Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/15/2017 1:24 pm Not to be a smarty pants, but it's a proof set, which is different from a mint set. It would not be a big deal to carefully break the plastic open. Put these in another safe and suitable holder and replace the ruined 1 cent with a single 1969 S proof one cent coin. If it looks like this it still has value but that carbon spot or corrosion has devalued it considerably either way. Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7505 Posts	Posted 03/15/2017 1:37 pm You can buy a whole new set for $5.95, less than cost of cleaning solution! and take out the toned coins you like and put them in album. 361914958017 Edited by Chase007 03/15/2017 1:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
