Like I said up above, the coins real value is closer to 500 to a grand. But all the sellers are treating it like gold. So I got the 1950 proof set instead. Collecting since 1972.

Coinfrog, I've never spent that kind of money on a cent before, but at some point when I finally decide to fill that hole in my type set labeled "Chain Cent", I'll definitely be doing it then!

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 12/03/2022 11:12 pm Congratulations on the pickup. I believe that once you get it, the white appearance in the sellers images are on the plastic, not the coins. I have the 1954 set which looks very similar, and the coins inside are spotless. You did very well on the price, I'm envious and would have bid against you as I need one myself.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 12/03/2022 11:26 pm Thanks Bally! I'm glad I got it also - I no have that empty place in my proof sets. Done with that, now to start up a savings for the other one I really want. (then maybe that 1909-S VDB - which I also need) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

When I checked my account and saw the offer (which could have been waiting for me to see before I started this topic) I had to jump on it. Congratulations!
