Two 1957 Mint Set's Arrived

[leeg]

Low mintage birth year set's for me. When I first started collecting I did a 1957 Mint and Proof Registr* Sets ATS. They are now retired and in the top five "All Time". I move into Lincoln Cents and Classic Commemoratives. I guess 1957 year coins are still in my blood. The first set is just average but the second one is above average in my opinion. You guy's can be the judge.

I think both sets look great and being in its original sets, it just adds more appeal to me.

I agree with you that the first set is perfectly fine, but that the second set is really nice. (thumbs u

 

For those unfamiliar, the US Mint took relatively little care with putting coins in these sets. Not only are quite a few coins fingerprinted, but I even have a very nicely toned 1958 Franklin half that has a slight clipped planchet, yet was in a 1958 US Mint Set.
