hi all , marry Christmas and happy new year to all members .
I received a full set of ( THE GREAT AUSSIE COIN HUNT COINS AND THE FOLDER ) for Christmas from my brother .
( he knows nothing about collecting coins , ok )
when I opened it up , the coins were already placed in the folder, and I could see dark spots on some of the coins , the G being the worst one , I asked him did he put them in the folder and he said no . the post office where he got them from , sold them to him just as they are , already in the folder . spots look like sweat drops from who ever put the in the folder . when I put them under the light with the mag glass they are hard to see but see them better under normal day time light , . so I consider the set ruined , are they easy to get out of the folder ??? and if so , should I try and clean them ??? or if not , should I buy another single coins and replace the bad ones ,,,,, thanks for any answer for me to consider ....
A swab with a cotton tip and acetone, then rinse off in clean water and pat dry between two layers of paper towel might help.
Keep an eye on your change too because they are turning up in circulation and, being so new, often in good condition.
