1953 PL Set - Original Box ?

Cool, I picked up a box of these as well (last year). Mine came with the individual cellophane and stapled together. Would love to see some pics of yours to compare.

1 cent NSF - Hanging 3
5 cent NSF - Far
10 cent NSF
25 cent NSF LD
50 cent NSF LD?
$1 NSF FWL

Maybe the 5c, 10c, 25c would be PL, 10c possible SP, the others I am pretty sure are regular business strike.

The coins I got were only wrapped in the tissue paper and had been handled and bumped . These are the auction photos. OH, have I ever mentioned that I hate ugly toning ? Well I do, but this cost me under $150 Cdn. so I figured I couldn't lose....what if it was really a specimen set oooh. Anyways...




So after 2 days of checking and rechecking them , I decided that since they weren't pristine, and had that god-awful TARNISH and before they got black and the metal got eaten , I reluctantly dipped the silver. Ow, I know. Here's the results.
I wiped the cent and nickel with the cloth used to clean camera lenses. The nickel has some rust and a bad scratch in front of the beaver. It also has an extra piece of metal stuck on the queen's shoulder and another on the forehead.






Now the silver; the dime was black as could be. It came out a shiny uneven grey, lighter than the photo. You can see die lines under some of the legend on the obverse (and tiny ones on the field).




The other 3 came out very shiny with the 50 cent and $1 having a gold hue and cameo (but also handling marks).











At least I like them better this way.
