  1. yes, if nothing else to be sure that it is genuine
  2. Nice grade, and attractive. Congrats
  3. On this one: As you mentioned, the "ONE CENT" does not show. Most likely cause was someone had intended to make a "Love Token" out of it by engraving someone's initials on the reverse center. Just as on the obverse you have the initials "TH" and other marks.
  4. He was kidding! He was just tired of being told that he was buying the stuff. I know how he gets his finds, and they are legit
  5. Congrats on the complete set of Red books. If you are interested: Oops, I can't rotate it.
  6. Damaged? Yes. Abused? Yes. Still worth a dollar or two
  7. Yup, the book is more valuable than the coin -- in many instances But, I will be selling off a ton of books, I have [probably] a couple of thousand. My wife wants to downsize. I'll probably keep several hundred of my books. But no more.
  8. Yes, and no. No: You are not the only one to remember the box sets. Yes: It was a transition, 1955 came both ways. The box sets were popular in the '60s and 1970's. There was a strong market for 'sealed' box sets. That is, until someone finally opened on box and found it was full of metal washers, no coins. Thereafter all boxes were opened. If you find a sealed box, I wouldn't buy it unless it was opened for inspection. Even it the owner claimed that they got it from the mint.
