Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 04/29/2023 9:11 pm I have a 1953 uncirculated set in what I thought (think) is OGP cello. or is what I found on ebay the true OGP and the mint didn't start the cello OGP until 1963? I bought my 1964 to 1953 sets way back in 1980 something.... ebay item number:195447226836 here is an image of my 1953 set: (I'm afraid to hear the answer.) Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 04/29/2023 10:34 pm yeah, that is what I thought. way back in 1980-something I bought these, thinking they were OGP. Now I have to rebuy the sets from 1953 to 1962. I had a sinking feeling about these sets - that is why I took them out to have another look at them... Back then, I was in my late teens to early 20's and had no real place to research these out. The coins themselves look great, Maybe I can sell these off to fund getting the real ones.

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 5:05 pm As long as the coins are real and nice, why does it matter if the packaging is real at this point in time. I'm drooling over the Bennie's! I'm sure that lots of buyers would want original packaging but, it's the coin that matters to me most. IMO Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 7:12 pm Agree, definitely not original. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 7:49 pm Yeah, thanks, that was my original thought when I first started this topic. My only defense is tha tI was in my 20's and there was no internet to check on them then. .. The coins are very nice in appearance - so that is a bonus. Collecting since 1972.
