Quote: I see your disappointment is warranted there Dearborn. Bummer. Yeah, thanks. I'm still wondering why the coins look so 'zincy' like the copper plating is super thin and the zinc is coming through.. I may have to buy another 'better' set...

Dearborn, could you not have returned the set when you noticed the damage?

Yeah Dearborn, to have spent all that time making a  high end set of modern coins to have a few marred ones might throw off the eye appeal a bit. And some delicious looking toners from HumblePie there.

I could have, but it only cost me $14.00 not a huge loss to me, besides in another topic http://goccf.com/t/403435) I'm looking for a Guinea pig coin to experiment on. I guess I'll use the one with the circular marking on it to see what happens if you soak a proof coin in acetone for a while to clean it up.

most appropriate this evening:  (must be something good if he's leading-off with the dancing banana)   patience & careful planning pays. my very first '09-S LWC. now it's time to go after '14-D & '09-S VDB. i'll post the updated folder page when I get the coin to it. I haven't gotten that far yet.   because I needed this date, MCMLXXXVI, 1986, first year of issue. I like the roman numeral-dating. because I wanted more gold and needed this date. (i have enough one-tenth oz gold eagles that I think i'll have a go at acquiring all the various specimens of them. i'll start by just continuing to acquire the various BU dates I don't have, but i'll need to do some reading, too.) and    i waited & waited til this became available, it nicely coincided with the availability of the previous two coins, and since I was prepared for this alignment of good timing I capitalized quickly and had a really nice mail day today despite the encroaching ill-tempered weather event. with the addition of the V75 ASE I currently have just 2 other ASEs to go after. (edit: p.s.... not counterfeit, lol)

Very nice set of coins there! I have to ask, what was the price of that V75 ASE?

Thats a nice trio there mrpink2018, and on the 1909-S cent, there is a possibility of 2 different re-punched mintmarks which would increase the value some.
I got lucky on my 09-S Lincoln as when I purchased mine some time ago, it turned out to have the S/horizontal-S variety and I did not know that until I examined it later.

Finally scored a somewhat sanely priced non-graded 2019 Apollo 11 $1 proof. I don't know why, but I find this and the 2014 Baseball coins appealing, even though I am not into sports and only casually think space is cool. Oddly enough, I have no interest in the curved 2020 basketball coins!
