Wonderful old-time set! It's nice to see one of the original black leatherette holders still holding the coins -- often these holders are found without the coins. There are multiple versions/varieties of these sets. The first 200 sets that were placed in these holders featured a notarized certificate on the back indicating the special nature of the set - similar to the Cleveland holders. Most of sets that are found in these holders are number 201 or higher -- i.e., they do not include a notarized certificate. If interested, I showed a picture of my (empty) holder here: https://goccf.com/t/116786Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed the background story! I look forward to seeing your future finds!

Wow...and Kelly got her back story as well! I look forward as well to your future finds. It sounds like you literally could go get lost for hours (days (weeks))!

Wonderful details! I was hoping for a few sentences, please do not take my "demands" as shaming the new guy on the block. Seems to me you have been holding back a bit? I look forward to additional pictures and knowledge transfer  |

I can be obtuse (sorry!). It seems as of you have a lot of knowledge to share after you revealed the story behind this post.  |

Nice set of a not so common commemorative and the original holder just adds to the set.
