    It looks like there could be some nice pieces in there. I don't think the price is outrageous, considering they seem to all be at least above average. If they're not all that, you can return them.

    Nice set! and a nice price to boot!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Looks pretty good, though the lighting was favorable. The quarter does look cam. The franklin looks to have a cam rev and not cam obv. Dime has a cam rev. Don't know how these sell for so I cannot comment on the price, but looks to be a nice set.

    Too bad the obverse of the Franklin isn't as frosty as the obverse of the quarter!

    Still that looks like a neat set that is worth paying a little extra for. As those sets keep getting broken up nice original ones are getting scarcer!

    the seller really knows his 50's and 60's proofs

    << <i>the seller really knows his 50's and 60's proofs >>



    I would have to agree with that statement. I purchased two proof Jefferson nickels from this seller before. I would not break up that proof set expecting DCAMs. Those are beautiful coins, but the frost is strongest on one side.

    Good luck on that SMS! The frost breaks on the wings of the eagle might keep that at cam. None the less it is a beautiful SMS quarter!
