    Everything on the Denver side except the half and token seem to have at least a bit appearing that way. My guess is just a photo artifact due to the plastic. Not sure why the Philly looks normal. Perhaps it's the lighting angle.

    Yes, I meant Denver. On my iPad, it looks like someone beat the rims with a hammer!

    I believe the 'warpage" you're seeing is merely an optical effect.



    The lines on some of the rims are caused by being in the area that the heat sealing machine creates the pockets. This is quite common damage on mint set coins.

    I cannot see the two coins well enough to say anything about them. However, the type of crimping machine used for the flat pack mint sets could damage the rims of coins if the coins were not properly positioned when the ribbed rollers squeezed the plastic shut.

    Looks more like a reflection from the plastic/cellophane.

    I believe they are fine... just a lighting/photo issue.... Cheers, RickO

    The rims on a few of the coins look damaged from repeated improper handling or storage.



    As something heavy was dropped on the set more then once.
