Damaged Proof Mint Sets Returned To US Mint

If you purchased Proof Mint Sets from 1999, 2000, or 2001, you may be in for a refund from the US Mint. The US Mint held back 150,000 Proof Mint Sets and planned to offer them on a scheduled basis for collectors. However, a number of these sets showed spotting and tarnishing, which the US Mint blamed on improper storage.
