Coinindrum Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 01/06/2020 3:22 pm Thank you @CoinCollecter2012 I appreciate your input , I have had a hard time identifying this one and could only see on other on ebay it looked like they had a golden tinted Denver mint and just wanted to be sure . I would hate to put it up for action and find out later it was a rare coin in the set. Report this Post to the Staff
Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 01/07/2020 8:49 pm Unfortunately the original mint encapsulations (holder) are far from air-tight. Although they have come a long way from the seventies and eighties case where coins "as minted" become scarce. I own the set you reference and mine is a touch darker than when I bought it from the mint. By the way, Welcome!
