    Many years ago I went through 100's of set's to find the perfect 55 cent's..both proof and uncirculated.. these are some really nice coins and I would suggest getting them graded.

    This will be the start of my birthyear set. I've been procrastinating and this is a terrific kickstart. The problem is that I'll have to have two.... one U.S. and one Canadian.

    No one has a spare 55 doubled die kicking around by any chance, hmmm?

    Thank you, RickieB!

    I received my prize(s) today! They are incredible!

    I shot them in the holders because I didn't want risk dropping them or whatever. All the marks and whatnot are on the plastic not the coins.
