Alpha33 Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 08:06 am Quote: 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. Are you collecting coins or the packaging? The coins are great as is. Screw the packaging. My 2¢ Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 08:52 am Quote: Are you collecting coins or the packaging? The coins are great as is. Screw the packaging Well 99% coins, 1% packaging. I have 2 collections going. 1. all coins in as best quality I can afford in Dansco albums, 2. a complete set of OGP mint sets of uncirculated and proof sets going back as far as I can afford to get. The sets in this topic were(are?) supposed to be part of my OGP collection. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

machine20 Pillar of the Community United States 1277 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 6:14 pm I have these sets for 1958-63. Really nice coins, comparable to mint sets, as far as I can tell Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 09:23 am I agree, these after market sets are great. The coins contained within look really good. Collecting since 1972.

Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 05/10/2023 4:52 pm @Dearborn here is one that is less expensive from what looks like a reputable seller. Also just realized you have to be careful on these because I see people selling empty OGPs so there are likely people that make fake ones as it seems like it would be easy to do on these old sets. I am just pointing this out to you because I enjoy finding deals on proof and uncirculated sets, mostly on ebay. I'm not looking for a 1953 UNC set but wanted to point it out to you and NO I am not the seller! https://www.ebay.com/itm/394610587391 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 05/10/2023 5:55 pm Thanks Coin, Al the information above is very helpful. (Yes, I'm aware of the pitfalls of buying these older sets, thanks) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
