    No! but this is very interesting to say the least.image
  • To say the least, it is a bit skeptical. Have any other forum members seen these before?

    Yes, I have seen one. Actually bought the thing as a lark. It's nothing special. Just your regular old mint proof set.

    Val Webb is the high bidder. If he thinks they're legit, they probably are.

    Wow, they're already dogeared and all? image

    I actually have a very hard time believing in any "still sealed" proof set from the 1950s, and would prefer to know what the coins look like before I buy the set. I guess I'm too conservative for that game.

    If I were interested in fooling a collector, I'd use the other envelope. I've purchased from this seller several times, and been very pleased. One of my AH Cams came from a sealed 64 set I bought in a lot from him.
