So I purchase a first commemorative mint set. Just a cheap nothing set bc I didn't have any liberty head nickels. I paid a dollar. I figured the originals had been swapped for circulated coins. Then I pulled them out to put in individual sleeves so they don't get worn more. However the rims on all five are impeccable, and shiny, and prestine. so not sure what to make of them. The obverse sides are pretty worn, however the reverses are actually not bad. They aren't anywhere near ms but I would like to know more about your the rims are so shiny, any thoughts?  *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

That's what I been leaning towards. Although, I don't know how long they have been in this folder casing. And I know it's a NOTHING set, but for a buck, good deal. The obverse and reverse sides don't appear at all to be polished though, I don't know why someone would only polish the rims

That outfit is notorious for buffing their coins in those period folders. Yea best thing you can do is dump the folders, and never pay much for their....stuff.

If you could even tell, I'm assuming the 1912 wasn't an S.
For a dollar, I would have gotten it.
