Nice. Where’d you obtain the set? I’m always interested to hear where/how these surface. Good luck on grades.
Superb collections are built more by omission than by addition.
Local show in the SF Bay Area.
Very nice!
I think they are probably much nicer than your photos indicate 👍
Nice looking set!
Im sure you had to pay up for it.

The coins look much better than they appear in the photos.
I thins that walker is gonna come back with a nice grade. Its all good 👍
Good luck
Really nice set.
Here are better photos of the five coins.
That's a great set but I had to chuckle at the holder. I like those snap cases and they're safe for coin storage, but that set was screaming for a Capitol Plastics holder. 😀
My estimates based on the current pictures, 1-50. I really like that Nickel.

The nickel is a stunner when it is tilted to where the colorful toning shines.
Makes me want to retrieve my run of proof sets 1936-1969 from the safety deposit box! Mine are in a Dansco album.

My story about the 1937 set began when I attended a local show in early June. A dealer had multiple raw proof sets in his case. I bought a 1942 set containing a gorgeous frosted half; and agreed to purchase the 1937 set.
I picked up the 1937 set last Saturday and while doing so I also looked at the 1939 and 1941 sets the dealer has. I already have sets for those years, but the nickel in the dealer's 1939 set is a gorgeous toner and the other coins in the 1939 and 1941 sets are upgrade candidates to coins in my current sets.
I am going to meet the dealer this weekend at another show to take a close look at his 1939 and 1941 sets. I most likely will pick up those two sets.
Summer hobby fun at local shows.
Nice! Congratulations on the pick up. Hoping for high grades for all.
Check the reverse of the nickel in the '39 set. A reverse of '40 is a bit more valuable and could justify a slightly higher ask price.

The coins have been graded. The nickel graded PF66. The other four coins graded PF64. Attached are the TrueView photos of the coins.
The cent, nickel and half dollar are very eye appealing. The frosted devices and mirrored fields of the cent and the half dollar look better in hand under good lighting than the appear in the photos. The nickel has multicolored toning that does not show in the photo as well as they appear in hand under good lighting.
The dime certainly looks better than a 64 to me.

That’s the problem with trying to grade Proof coins from images, as hairlines usually don’t show (to their full extent, if at all).

I would echo the above post, to grade PR64 as they did tells me the coins have a number of easily visible hairlines. Going back and looking at the pictures expanded I can see them.
Still a nice set.

Very nice set, SanctionII. . .thanks for sharing the before / after photos.
Love the color and toning on the Buffalo...
The proof set is back with me. Here are cell phone photos of the coins in the slabs. The entire set is very eye appealing. Unfortunately hair lines on all coins but the nickel limit the grades.
I like the frost especially on the half dollar. Were these from the same set or put together separately?
The 5 coins were in a proof set I purchased in July at a local show.
