!!!!! LOOK AT THOSE LOVELY FROSTED DEVICES !!!!! Don't let those cloudy soft plastic slips that the mint used during the 2nd half of the 1954 production year "cloud" your judgment about just how nice these coins are. From many years of experience in this area, I can tell you that you will be amazed at what you see if you ever choose to remove these coins from those slips…especially those 3 frosted coins!! THE VERY SPECIAL SUPERB GEM FRANKLIN WILL BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SET FOR MANY. IT ENJOYS A GORGEOUS LIGHTLY FROSTED BUST OF BEN FRANKLIN AND A HEAVILY FROSTED LIBERTY BELL. THIS PURE WHITE BEAUTY IS SIMPLY BEGGING TO EMERGE FROM BEHIND ITS CLOUDY PLASTIC COVERING!!! THE SUPERB GEM NEARLY PURE WHITE WASHINGTON QUARTER BOASTS OF STRONGLY FROSTED DEVICES ON BOTH SIDES. IT IS A GORGEOUS 2-SIDED CAMEO COIN. ANOTHER PIECE BEGGING TO EMERGE FROM BEHIND ITS CLOUDY PLASTIC COVERING!!! The Roosey dime is a gem++ proof example of the issue. There is some pleasant golden brown toning near the obverse rim from 12:00 to 3:00. That blazing deeeeply mirrored superb gem Jefferson nickel is another beauty which is sure to please!! If your eyes are sharp you may detect a hint of a very light golden toning with the coin in your hand. Finally, THE SUPERB GEM LINCOLN CENT IS A SPECIAL PIECE. LINCOLN’S BUST IS NICELY FROSTED CREATING AN EYE APPEALING CONTRAST!! THE COIN IS A FULL FIERY MINT RED BEAUTY!! LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MINTED YESTERDAY!! No defects can be seen through the slips on any of these coins. Folks, over recent years, many thousands of these vintage proof sets from the early 50s have been cut up for slabbing…they are getting much more scarce every year and prices are reflecting this! The availability is rapidly dwindling…if you want these sets, you should buy them before you’ll need a very rich Uncle to leave you his estate in order to be able to afford them! This isn’t rocket science…I simply fully understand the eye appealing look that most folks like and that’s exactly what I buy at the major shows. I leave the far less eye appealing “bargains” for others. Read my feedback and see if you want to join my rapidly growing customer base of folks who appreciate special quality at a very fair price! DEMAND FOR THESE SETS IS HIGH NOW, BUT IN ANOTHER FEW YEARS DEMAND FOR THESE SETS WILL BE EVEN STRONGER AS THE COLLETOR BASE KEEPS GROWING STEADILY! IMAGINE WHAT THE PRICE WILL BE THEN AFTER MANY MORE HAVE BEEN CUT UP FOR SLABBING! I hunt high and low at many of the national shows for the cream of the vintage 50s proof sets like this one and am well connected with the best proof set dealers in the country who save their very best sets for me because I pay a fair premium for great quality. A really nice set like this will reward you for years to come…a great 1954 proof set which certainly belongs in an very high quality collection of vintage US proof sets!!! NEVER BE AFRAID TO PAY FOR QUALITY LIKE THIS. IT WILL PROVIDE IMMENSE PLEASURE FOR AS LONG AS YOU OWN IT, AND REWARD YOU HANDSOMELY WHEN IT COMES TIME TO SELL.
