This is not from a Proof set, I got this today. There is something on it but I don't know how to get it off without hurting the coin. 1951 dime.
It in a plain coin holder . I know this in not a proof set but coins put together. I Have Franklin Half not mint mark, Washington Quarter S mintmark. Dime, Nickel D mintmark. and a very bad Lincoln not mintmark. Thanks Ben
Some acetone wouldn't hurt it to much , some say acetone won't hurt coins others say anything will , if it doesn't bother you too much just leave it . BTW after reading your thread about the '51 proof set I went out & bought a gov packed box '53 proof set . seems the plastic the mint put them in was so fragile , it split toning a third of the Franklin half , it's going back the next time I go into the city . rzage
I know that had to hurt. I am stilling looking for my proof set but I will wait until the rigth one comes a long. Thanks for the help
If you get them in the original gov. packing take your time checking all the coins , I thought I did but the boxed sets have no where near the protection of the flat packs , good luck . rzage
My father just got a 51 proof set last saturday. Maybe he will let me borrow it and take some pictures to share. Those old proof sets are cool.
