smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 04/19/2014 8:09 pm The plastic they switched to in 55 seems to be less of an issue IME. I have not removed mine from that packaging. No 51's out there? Report this Post to the Staff
Susuman Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 04/19/2014 8:54 pm 51 is coming, but I can't get to it for a few hours. I have to deal with the Easter Bunny Report this Post to the Staff

Susuman Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 04/19/2014 11:53 pm Ok, this was asked for. Going back to yesterdays posting for 1950, I removed one set from the original packaging. Aside from the little bit of gunk from the plastic (I guess acetone will remove this), the coins look really nice. The half is a bit cameo. So, here is a just removed 1950 proof set. 1951 coming up... Edited by Susuman 04/20/2014 12:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
Susuman Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 04/20/2014 12:37 am 1951 Proof set boxes and coins from one of them. I just removed the coins from mint plastic. They also have a little residue from the film. No cameo coins here unfortunately. The funny brown and green blobs on the quarter are reflections. Report this Post to the Staff

smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 04/20/2014 07:41 am Nice! Hopefully the acetone will work as well as it did for me. I will post my 52 set this evening after work. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12843 Posts	Posted 04/20/2014 9:08 pm Niiiiiiice. On the left '51 box, what does the $14 mean? I assume the after-market asking price at one point? Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 04/20/2014 11:11 pm OK, here is my first contribution. I took pics of the coins in the packaging. The staple holding the envelopes together was rusted and the owner of the LCS removed it. Most of the marks are actually due to the packaging. They turned out wonderfully after being acetoned.

smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 04/21/2014 12:03 pm Triple post! Alright! ;) Are you going to try acetone on those? Here is my 53. I have no 54 yet, so I wont be posting anything tomorrow. I knew the first few days would be scarce, but I am hoping with 55 it will pick up. Report this Post to the Staff
Susuman Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 04/21/2014 7:50 pm Ohhhhhh, now I have a problem. My 1953 proof sets are completely sealed in the box, and I see from the ebay sold listings that completely sealed boxes sell for about $100 more than opened ones.... So, not sure what to do. I want to take the pictures, but don't want to do that and hurt the value..... Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 04/21/2014 9:49 pm $4.00? Was that the issue price? Report this Post to the Staff
Susuman Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 04/21/2014 11:02 pm I believe that the issue price was $2.10. According to the list in the Red Book, all proof sets from 1950 through 1964 had an issue price of $2.10. So, I would guess that the $4.00 price is from a coin store or at a later time.
