    I never knew fourth class postage actually existed!
    From what I could see, in the mint sets, the nickes s disappear to have full steps. Some really nice toning for sure. I'm so glad that you appreciate toning!

    I know ZERO about coins, and don't really have an interest in collecting them, but for some reason, I find this channel interesting. Ben makes it so. Until I started watching this channel, I never knew that "toning" was a thing on coins. I always thought it was 100% condition (and rarity or scarcity) that mostly dictated value. But color? Toning? I had never heard of such a thing. I guess that would be like patina on antique furniture lol Cool Stuff.👍

    I could watch these kind of videos for hours, honestly ! The surprise is worth a fortune especially when a 1953-S mint set has FBLs on the half. Great video Ben from the last train to Clarksville.

    Hey, Ben. Cool sets to view. I think that one set that was sold for less was missing two coins. Some of the denominations had P-D-S, but a couple only had P-D. Hope to see you at the Tucson Coin Show this Saturday!

    These 1950s mint sets are among my favorite things to buy. Occasionally someone will actually sell full sets that haven't been cherrypicked on eBay, but increasingly rare.

    I didn't know old mint sets came in chipboard holders! The oldest one I have is from 1964, but it's in a pair of soft plastic holders with plastic Philly and Denver tokens

    The toning is caused by the sulfur in the paper.

    @louissica4647 6 місяців тому

    I knew 1950-1955 sets came in that fragile cellophane with that nasty nasty staple, but I always thought they were shipped in a small box (hence the name "Box Sets") and not just in a padded envelope. I've been collecting for 50 years and you taught me something new!

  • @josepha9313
    @josepha9313 6 місяців тому +2

    Low mintage sets and survivability is even worse due to the Franklin FBL mania and monster-toned coins being pulled out for grading. Leo Frese wrote an article a few years back, he believes less than 30% of these sets survive intact. These sets command a premium if you have all the boards, the inner and outer envelopes and no coins have been removed. Obviously, I like these sets.

    Hi Ben. I like the 49 and 55 sets. I like all the nickels in all the sets. The 57 and 58 sets are beautiful. I like the 48 set. Get the coins away from the staples! *------------------>* 🦉 🔔

    Also, of course, on the 54 nickel look for the double die reverse it only shows the steps tilted down on the left. Also, the S. over D.

    The 52P and 55P sets are my favorite with their toning and sharpness , the dimes in the pink paper 57 set , 49S Benji are pretty darn awesome sauce as well 😎😎
    Would you try to remove any toning before sending in for grading or submit as is ?
    These weren't cheap I'll bet .

    @ImperatorElite 6 місяців тому

    It's unbelievable how hard it is to fine images or videos on these original packages. So many have been open sorted and repackaged into smaller sets or fake sets. I was wondering about the proof sets. Like 1957 proof set. Were those in similar packages or just shipped in a single mylar in an envelope

  • @cgcoins3639

    Why are there two coins for each mint on a card? At first I thought it was so both sides could be displayed but that didn’t seem to be the case. Maybe I’m just missing something simple?

    The nickels in that 1958 set are very weakly struck. I wish you had popped at least some of the coins out of the holders to get a look at the opposite sides.
