The more I look, the more I think they stuck a 1983 lens into a 1991 case, and added the 1983 date to the side.

Which tells me it is not the lens from that set, because of the extra half dollar. They would have to do a unique case-lens combo to throw you off, but not sure if that the the real 1983 lens as I cannot compare.  |

I'm only missing '83, '91, and '97 to be complete, just wanted to make sure there weren't any legitimate alternate set styles released.
I could see someone putting the coin lens into a newer outer holder to make it match with the rest of the set. Guess it's what's important to you, overall aesthetics vs original packaging. While I would prefer that they were all uniform size and material, I am definitely in the OGP category in this regard, I will only pick up pieces that are fully original and complete (with the exception of my home made 2015 LESP.)

with the exception of my home made 2015 LESP I would love to see your 2015 LESP homemade set! - the year that the mint forgot about.. (That is a great idea to gap that huge hole the mint left behind.) |

@Dearborn Yes I am passing on the gray felt one and shopping around for an all original, can't wait until I get the run complete. I will post some collection pics near the end of next week, I just got my bulk shipment of Mint Set OGP cellophane sized lenses and I will be spending the next several days encasing all my old mint and souvenir sets. BTW what is the appropriate forum for posting collection pics? Quote:
(That is a great idea to gap that huge hole the mint left behind.) If they had made a special dollar in '85 I would put together an '85 prestige set too, I do not like the gaps one bit, they bug me when I'm trying to fall asleep lol. Edited by RGG Kid
