Before anyone misinterprets those SMS set holders, they were recycled for use with the 1930s coins shown and originally held U. S. Mint SMS coins dated 1966 or 1967.

Sad but true. There is little to be gained by having a damaged or severely worn coin attributed.

This is a good place to see how the real ones look, and the differences will become obvious to you:

I began getting proof sets in 1971 when they cost $5. I continued to order them from the SFM through 1998, but the state quarter program was just too many coins, and I dropped out. I'd say that I lost money to inflation buying these coins, but they're a nice record of the many changes made during that period.

Both "verdigris" and "patina" are familiar terms to those interested in ancient or early modern coins. They are not used very often in reference to the sort of coins encountered on this forum.

A 1944 obverse was paired with a non-wartime reverse that was the common reverse for various dates struck by Henning.

Coins that have the prototype reverse will be attributed as such when submitted to NGC with VarietyPlus service.

I work only with USA coins, where varieties are requested frequently. I spoke with our world coins attributor, and there doesn't appear to be enough interest in world varieties to create a Brazilian database.

I don't know their compositions, but the manufacturer did a great job of simulating the colors of gold, silver and copper.

Ohhh---Numistamps! I have a complete set of those in the custom album. It was an affordable way to collect USA type coins at the time.

That looks like the correct variety, but it still needs to be submitted for VP service before NGC will recognize it.
