almostpennylane Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 12:45 am I pulled this 1975-D Lincoln Cent out of a mint set. Anything going on here? Or did the set just get thrown around a bit? Maybe has some poor man's doubling going on? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19164 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 10:06 am Such 'staining' is not common on mint sets, but not unknown either. Spots created through some form of environmental agent--perhaps introduced prior to packaging. Uncirculated mint sets--in original packaging--can be fun. Some year sets are known for interesting toning too--1975-76 sets in particular. Report this Post to the Staff
almostpennylane Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 3:50 pm This one was from an unopened ebay lot mint set, but I suppose they could have switched out and resealed with heat? Or perhaps was just a freak toning. Or weird storing with a micro-tear somewhere. Report this Post to the Staff
