As much as I will miss the OGH the coin is at PCGS right now for trueviews and maybe a slight grade bump if I'm lucky. Never know, the case may be available some day. :)

Definitely worth cracking out for the TVs and the potential grade bump, it's beautiful. I'm very excited to finally get my first SP 1939. I should have it hand by the end of March.A matte blast white SP67 with an incredible cameo. Definitely keep me posted on your results! 1939 is overall my favourite year to collect.

Any chance you could post up a picture of the 1953 - Set Small cardboard box with stapled plastic envelopes?
Thanks

I believe this is the box that purelywasted was referring to. It's just cheap cardboard. When I got the set from ebay, there were no plastic envelopes, just tissue paper. The coins were loose, and marked up a bit. Also seems they weren't all PL. I don't know who wrote on it, but it looks like it could be of that time.  |

Thanks for posting those Terryt and chadcoins. Same box as mine the little sleaves are same as well, we're stapled together as well.
Chadcoins box looks more rectangular, mine is square. @pacific might know more about different boxes, he helped with mine.
Coins were decent shape, no pl or sp, I think my dollar came back a ms65, don't remember if I sent others in.

When I purchased this set from the original owner he gave me a letter of it origin. It wasnt long after he passed away. His letter and the 1951 box makes it very special and gives all of us what was in the box.  |

The RCM reported selling uncirculated individual coins to "sundry persons" from 1949 onwards. They did not record the numbers of full sets sold until 1959.

TerryT, The box you show resembles the USA style box with coins placed in the cellophane envelopes.  |
