Just reply to the thread by saying "I know!" After 5 replies I will post more pictures and give more info on this set. There are many answers, but do you know the biggy? This proof set was given to someone at birth in 1957. When I was told about this set, I was expecting a 1957 proof set... but this is what they had. Report this Post to the Staff

Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 01/08/2011 6:47 pm Yeah, someone really took it to that beautiful 1909 S IH!! Ouch! Notice the double obverse Mercs? Me either until I got home, bonus score. You won't believe it, but I checked this IH for the mint mark and didn't see it. I was in a dimly lit area and honestly did not see it. I almost didn't buy it because even though I need to fill the 1909 hole, I figured I would do it with a coin that wasn't buggered up. This is the first of many coins that I bought and need to search. I just can't believe it! Sorry all, I'm gonna have to stick this in my album. I know she is scarred up, but scars have character. If there is something else here I missed, let me know! Oh... I'll post more pics later. :D I bought a a bunch of silver halves and dimes Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 01/08/2011 6:51 pm I think most of us saw the dinged up 09 S IH . also you did say it was given as a present in 1957 .. so I would wonder about the 58 quarter and the 64 half but maybe I got the story wrong too Report this Post to the Staff
