Chris1976 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Finally recieved these today to complete the SMS set for these. Odd thing about that, I ordered all the coins on the same day from the same retailer, but they felt the need to send one box through Smartpost, one typical US Mail, and one Priority. Ironically the Typical US Mail shipment arrived first with the Priority shipment arriving a day later and here it is almost a week and a half later, the Smartpost shipment finally arrives. -Chris#2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModCrewman-migration Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Here are some photos taken last night of the raw 1950 proof set I picked up over the weekend: Lincoln - Nice Cent with great contrast, the reverse fingerprint sucks. Jefferson - IMHO the highlight of the set. Roosevelt - a few hairlines in the right obverse field, but nice contrasting coin. Washington - Several hairlines in both right and left obverse fields and a strong frost on the bottom of the portrait but almost no frost above the curls. Franklin - Very little cameo contrast, and several hairlines in the Obverse fields, but a very attractive reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyMan Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Good looking coins everyone! I particularly like the 1950 proof set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coindude Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 On that 50 proof set..../ did it come in the original cellophane? It is possible that's just glue and should be able to be removed with acetone. I know I posted on your other thread that it looked like someone tried to conserve it, but it is altogether possible that it's just glue. All the early box set proof coins suffered from this problem.

It wasn't in cellophane, it was in a capital holder...I may give acetone a shot...am I correct that acetone doesn't discolor copper as coin dip does?
