Not capturing colors very well.
It's funny they taped cellophane over the D's so the set is blast white, at least on one side. ( haven't popped them out to see other side )
But unfortunately the set is missing 2 - 49-S dimes and 1- 49-P Half
What should I do ?????

Sorry about the so so pics.

    My guess is that they were the only nice coins, so the previous owner removed them, before he sold the remainder to you. I would throw them on ebay at a 99 cent start.

    Probably true. The remaining coins are unimpressive.

    Trying to stir the pot Mark?
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Inherited Collection Coins maybe in other boxes, we are hoping.
    Some other the other coins are beautiful, Pics are not showing the toning properly.
    Was hoping to get the set back together. If coins are found. if not it's still a great partial set.
    As for unimpressive thats one person's opinion, I'm sure better pics and toning lovers my disagree.

    Not at all, Marty. I sincerely believe that the OP's answer to that question should lead to the proper course of action for him.

    Check the '49-S halves for RPM-2 FS-501 in the CPG. This is a very scarce variety.

    Also check the '49 Philly half for the Bugs Bunny.
