need some opinions about 54 mint set pics below

tonedase

It has been my belief that 54 mint sets came with the coins inserted into cardboard rectangular boards with flaps on the boards that contained sulfer which in turn had the possibility on natural toning.. I have come across a unusual 54 mint set and I was wondering if the pics attached to this show a real 54 mint set..


I cannot find in my much info about this type of packaging in any of my books, therefore any help would be great...
thanks ahead of time for your responses

If you like the coins, buy them for what you like, as they are.
They are not "as issued by the US Mint". That is aftermarket packaging.

Yep , aftermarket set.

they didnt have to put all the sticker on the packaging.

Yes, aftermarket set. NOT mint issued.

This 1954 year set is not a mint set. The coins were packaged in green cardboard holders, and were issued as double sets with two of every coin to show the obverse and reverse. This set was put together and packaged outside of the mint. The coins might be nice, but this is not a mint set.

Hi again
this set is currently on eBay and I even talker to the person who has it listed....I had no intention of buying this set, I just did not like that the seller calling it an original 54 mint set...which it is not..those were my feelings all along..he was asking around $285.
thanks to everyone for their responses...
