    Not proof. Just UNC circulation strike cents. You can tell since they are not as mirror like.

    some variety/error guy might like the first one with the "BIE" type of cud in the LIBERTY. That's all I got. Nice shiny RED cents.

    Just a thought, I would sperate those into individual holders, The 55-S coins are very common and not worth too much, but that 1955 in your second photo looks in excellent condition and could be worth a few hundred bucks if it graded high enough.

    What type of holder / capsule are they housed in?
    Much better to store in a cent tube.

    I'm also not sure and agree that a cent tube or 2X2's would be much better.

    @Owlx.... Also, get a Redbook so you can have it as a resource and study it for a good basic knowledge of coins. Cheers, RickO
