Here are the P mint Roosevelts and Franklins from a 1958 Mint Set. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

Sy, nice coins.

BTW, what is with the rim on the second franklin reverse between D and O in Dollar? Was the coin dropped or what?

Thank you!

I don't have the coin with me, as it is out being imaged. It may have been dropped at some point, but from what I can remember it never even attracted my eye, so it was certainly something minimal.

while the coins look wholly original I don't find the color to be very appealing.

Nice coins, but seems like some collectors don't like the purple - darker colors on coins of this and other dates from the 1950's. I remember buying two original 1955 mint sets that featured typical blue - purple toning on most of the coins with tinges of orange. It was a solid, original but not spectacular group. Not knowing any better, I sent the coins into PCGS even though the darker colors muted the underlying luster of the coins, which generally graded MS65 - MS 66 but were very hard to sell. I do appreciate your coins and wish you well with them whether they go into your collection or otherwise.
