Both the 1¢ and 50¢ show great cameo in hand. The 50¢ has a light cameo obverse and heavier cameo reverse. The coins all appear to be very well struck with no noticeable hairlines

    I have wanted a 1950 Proof set for a long while. (my birth year) Your photos have encouraged my search to begin in earnest.

    really nice 1950 PF set - it makes all the difference in the world to remove the coins from that cello junk

    Nice!
    I don't think I have ever seen such nice toning on a 1950 cent and nickel. Especially since the half exhibits no toning at all (unless you gave it a bath...) And the half doesn't seem to have any glue spots or hairlines that are common from those bags.
