Makes me so sad. 50's-70's things...you can tell, cleaned the snot out of and then put in this set with the rubber screw tabs.


Just buy the crappy pics I'd bet that the Walking/Franklin/Kennedy were all UNC or at least close to it (maybe the walking was XF-AU)


And the Barber and Seated just make my heart drop...

That barber is at least a high VF, probably more of a XF. Loads of detail.

The Seated, looks like F-VF to me, but still, some nice value there that was pretty much completely destroyed due to the polishing and making of this set.

What people do with coins one they're bought them is none of my business.

He "thinks" all the coins have been cleaned?

Pictures are so bad that I can't tell.
But all the coins appear shiny so I suspect they've been cleaned.

Yikes! Whoever cleaned those cost themselves a sizeable chunk of change.

Not so sure. Consider when this dates from and the small cost of all of these coins back then. No doubt in my mind that this was a money maker, like so many chump consumer sets over the years, still being offered in different forms by the likes of Littleton Coin Co today.

True. Alot of uneducated people will buy items like these for gifts.
