Always nice to look at and going for about $20 on ebay so more than 20x face. I would keep it, especially having the Treasury envelope and insert. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Two reasons to get excited. It was your grandfathers and it is my birth year  . Check it for errors/varieties but label it as coming from your gpa and put it away for safe keeping. John1  |

Nice silver proof set . Probably your grandfather bought it directly from the mint for $2.10 . keep passing it down through generations .  |

The sets pre-1965 are always nice since they do have silver. I'd save that set exactly as it is.

I'm feeling old. As a kid, bought one of those when they were brand new at the local coin shop.

My birth year as well. I have everything of my grand dads. Times would have to get really bad before I turned loose of a single item. Nice set, keep it! |
