Yeah, that franklin MAY be worth sending off for grading. That should pull off an easy PR67. I'd be surprised if it came back 68. |

Very nice looking set  As others are saying the nickel really stands out. My first thought is that, it might be a "black beauty" Most are a couple years earlier, if it were mine I would be checking it out more ... and see if they had black beauties as late as 1961. Either way .. I really like the color of the nickel .. and the half does look like it is a nice grade. |

For the record, a PR67 1961 Franklin - no cameo, that's obvious - isn't worth the cost of grading. A pair - 61 and 62 NGC PR67's - just sold for $64 at Heritage including BP. And about the only area on the coin I'd seriously consider grading in these images is right around the date.
Where I see a mark above the first 1. Or maybe not.

Your better off just keeping the set together as is and keeping it safe

I dunno; I'd be sore tempted to crack the set for that Nickel. Just to look at the color without the cellophane.  |

I like it a lot. And I'm with Dave, that Jefferson looks like it's probably a beauty.

For some reason, those old proof nickels produce some awesome toning. My 1962 proof set has a toned nickel like that. Your set looks great!

One of the best things about this set is the original cello pack is in good shape.

Yes, it is. I would be very reluctant to open it.
