RobertCramer New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 10/23/2019 4:46 pm Received 10.23.2019 "19RD Birth Set 2019." The obverse of the 5 cent nickel is a golden hue and the reverse of the coin appears normal. Should I returned the set to the U.S. Mint? Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12815 Posts	Posted 10/23/2019 10:29 pm I've seen that yellowish toning frequently on moderns, particularly the Statehood Quarters. I believe it is a result of improper storage so it is surprising to me that you received one like that directly from the U.S. Mint. Report this Post to the Staff

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 10/26/2019 5:38 pm Something was going on at the mint. I have a few Prestige Proof sets with the commemoratives beginning to show similar tone. But that's after thirty plus years, not less than one. Odd indeed.
