gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 11/11/2021 1:25 pm I know from what I have read that the plastic on uncirculated sets can cause toning, this looks like an almost like cameo type effect with the copper missing on the obverse with the reverse almost unaffected, so it has affected the obverse at a different rate inside the sealed pack. I am just curious as to why. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/11/2021 2:27 pm The copper isn't missing on the obverse - toning has just set in, darkening the bright original color. Report this Post to the Staff

gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 11/11/2021 5:35 pm The set was sealed no cracks that I could see in the flat pack, not sure how it was stored I have not had it long but that is the reason I opened it and it was fun looking at the rest including the quarter I posted earlier.
