Nice set! Original intact sets are getting hard to find.
Are you going to break it up... or keep intact?
That is a fantastic looking set!
I’m not one to break it up. I would sell it as is if I was to sell it. I see more value with it together as collector. But I know dealers would see more value broken up.
Nice set, congrats on finding and acquiring it!

Consider that that set is now 64 years old. The percentage of original sets remaining must be very small.
what a monstrous, unbelievable type b 57 quarter toner. sheesh.
Quite the find.
Absolutely. Most have had coins picked out and replaced. If one had a set like a 1953, and the S mint Franklin looked like FBL.... well, some big money could be made. Or a couple of the best toners could be broken out.
An original intact set is a welcome find!
Nice dude! You most certainly got my attention.

Thanks for the compliments
A few more pictures.
Just the right amount of crust and I’m not a fan of Franklin Half’s
Love the way that cardboard patinaed that set!
Sweet!
Holy Cow that is nice!

You have some mighty pretty stuff there!
Thanks again everyone for the compliments. This is a really cool purchase for me. I enjoyed posting the set so everyone can enjoy it too.
Also my friends/ coin buddy’s were along for the ride in a group text. We were playing a game to see who could figure out what I bought. Revealing clues every so often.
Very nice! Not a lot of original sets left in the wild. I've been hoarding them for the past ten years when I find them looking original like that.

Beautiful set.
I think mine was from 1958.
Not sure it netted anymore money but broke them up because I like them slabbed.
Also felt the toning had reached a point of no return on some of them.

Beautiful 1957 set!!!
Nice looking set!

Opened expecting to see something really nice or a link to some horrible eBay auction. Wasn’t disappointed.
Nice color and coins.
Why don’t my coins tone like that? I don’t expect any answers, just frustrating.
Sweet!
