In my journey to complete the 1950-1964 Proof Registry Set with all toned examples
and True Views, this is the first year that I have been able to complete. I have been
working on the Toned 1950-1964 Proof Set for one year now. The set is now 54.67%
complete. When I first started, I really did not think it would take 12 months to complete
a single year's proof set. Of course, these are only the coins that have been graded.
I have a pile that still need to be submitted one day. I actually have one forum member
to thank for three of these coins that all came out of the same proof set. THANK YOU!
The nickel and quarter were sourced elsewhere. The half is not nearly as wild as the
other coins but is still quite pleasant. Maybe one day I will come across an example
with wild colors? I can appreciate an all white.red set just like anyone else but I
find this set is a little more interesting to look at. I guess it stands out from the crowd.
The nickel just crossed from an old small ANACS PR66 and was the last coin to
complete this set. The True View posted just this week.

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

First year for the Lincoln cent and some cool wild colors.
I like it.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

Very impressive!
Cool colors.

Great set Greg......very nice colors. Those 67's look flawless....what does it take to get a 68??
OINK
The entire set should be spectacular when completed!

Abe has the number 32 on hits beard.
The light/photo hot spot does kinda look like a 32. Interesting.

It is obviously a message sent to you from the same Martians that all the conspiracy theorists see in the Curiosity rover images.

GREAT SET. Way more attractive and interesting than ricko's set for sure.

Would argue that point.
A nice grade Red Lincoln and DCAM the rest would make for another visually awesome set. Imo
Especially in hand.

Interesting set!

I like toned coins as much as the next guy, but this is hilarious! Sorry Keyman
From the photos I like the c appearance of the half dollar. The obverse is especially nice since the toning over most of the coin is uniform and framed by the peripheral toning. Does the coin in hand look as it does in the photo? Further, looking at the devices as shown in the photo hints at two sided light frost possibly being present. Are the devices frosted? If so, the coin would quite likely look even better in hand.
PS- I did have to LOL @ the Easy Bake Oven gag.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Interesting set!
LOL
This is hilarious!
