Is that a Franklin Proof Set on the bottom right of the 2nd picture.


Good eyes you have there ...

Those are two 1963 sets. I was breaking a lot of the
Franklin sets, but stopped breaking them, starting to
get a nice stack of pre 64's.

Seems like I am keeping them, if the OGP is in good shape.
So not sure how long those two will make it. I have a nice
2X2 box filling up with silver proof half dollars .. again not sure why.

I guess I just want to accumulate as much as I can, and
figure out what to do with them later.

Those type coins always hold a special place. I hope when my time comes I will pass down some good coins to my kids and grandkids.

No need to double bag that few coins. You are supposed to take the black recycle bag that you got from the US Mint some time back.

It has great big letters on it saying U S MINT.

It is just perfect for carrying you valuable coins through parking lots.

thetracer, when I walk in a place as safe as parking lot or shady ally way with my coins I prefer to use a big bag with a dollar sign on it

Nice finds! Still waiting to find a horde, myself. I'd say, any set you can get at a cheap price, get it!

Yea, man
I still got mine in its original Mint black rubber band.
I am afraid to use it in public.
Ah, maybe to wrap some other OGP in to keep the dust out, eh?

I would use it at a coin show, maybe. But at the mall or a flea market, no way.
