1957-D Mint Set card cents & nickels

I bought a 1957-D mint set card last year (there was no P card). The silver coins were the main reason I bought this mint set card, but I enjoy the cents and nickels for what they are... nothing spectacular, but decently toned. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

    Would love to see the silver coins.

    These are nice also.

    Nice coins! 57d boards often come very nice.

    Reminds me of when I bought what I thought was a 57 mint set - part of a multi set purchase of various dates. Turns out that when I got it home, it had two 57p boards and no d board.

    The dealer wouldn't budge on a return (last purchase from him-ever), so I still have the set. I've put it out for sale in my case with full disclosure that it is two p boards, but it remains an outcast.

    For a second there, I thought the 2nd Cent had a finger print above the date.

    NICE coins.

    Nice.... I pick up older mint sets from time to time... not really collecting them as a focus...just an occasional purchase. Usually they are quite nice...and go into my 'mint pile'...Cheers, RickO

    And on one cent you have a clog 9 and the other a clog 5. Both diebreaks. An added error bonus for both coins.

    Thank you for the info. I didn't realize it was considered an error.
