Interesting date set - 1949

I was drawn to this date set by the toning on the Jefferson. When I saw that the Frankie was a 'D' mint that sealed the deal for me.
I think it's an FBL, and under a loupe it definitely looks like a rpm, but I can't get a close enough photo. Are D/D's common?
As a bonus, the roosie has some toning and looks to be close to FB.
Not bad for $48.

  • I also like the toning on both the nickel and the dime- where did you find the set- a local dealer?

  • I found it in an antique store in Alexandria VA, my first time in the place.
    The guy used to have his own little shop but then moved in with his buddy, he only has 3 of those revolving tray cases and one of them is all foreign material.
    He had a lot of nice Morgans, including some toned unc CC's, all raw.
    He had a raw 1907 IHC proof for $195 that I seriously considered, but I'm ignorant of the series.
    I feel like IHC proofs will benefit from the enthusiasm for MPL's. The 1907 has a mintage of only 1,495, which is less than most MPL's.
    Maybe I'm talking myself into going back to get it.
    I did pick up a nicely toned 1939d Mercury dime, my first toned Merc to go with several roosies I have.
