Not many were produced and most of them have been separated for individual coins. I still have this one. I should probably sell it, just sitting around for decades now.

I have silver proof sets from 1950 to date. My 1950, 1951, and 1952 are in a three year capitol plastic holder. with considerable multi toning on the 1952 silver coins.

Muddler and BadThad, thank you for sharing. It is always nice to see a nicely toned Franklin.

Opted for a 1952 set in a Capital Plastics holder (which needs to be replaced):

Great looking set with hardly any toning if any!
Where'd you pick it up at?
How much did it set you back?

Thank you, smat45. It was an ebay purchase from a seller in Falls Church, Virginia. It was almost $300 including sales tax & shipping.

Might send it in for conservation and grading next year when the budget allows. In hand, they are very nice coins; my iPhone 13 doesn't do a very good job with macro photos.
