1942 5 coin proof set value?

I'm no expert but they look like proofs to me. If they are not they all have good strikes and high grades. No matter what we say though your best bet is to haveMULTIPLE dealers check them because pictures cannot replace holding the coin in hand. Either way great set niccce! I do agree with kirk about the quarter though looking bus. Strike but could be pics.

I know the pictures are not good. I am using an Ipad camera. I do have some MS 65 MS 66 and MS 67 coins from the 1940s I am comparing these to. In any event I will take this into a local shop and see if they can help.

 

If anyone has any opinion in my BG 308 coin value ( See other thread) I would love to hear from you.

 

Sorry to tell you but that's a mint set. The rims are rounded, not squared like you would see on a proof coin.

 

I wish I could help u with the gold tract but I can't offer knowledge I don't know enough of ..someone will chime in give time.

 

heres what a regular 1942 walker looks like

i already gave him what he needed

 

not even close

 

The cent definitely looks like a proof. I can't say anything about the others because I don't really know the characteristics of proofs from other denominations.

 

I ask again, what has you so convinced? Though it has been stated that the coins have rounded rims, hey look pretty square to me. I have proof sets dating back to the 1870s, so I know a thing or two about proofs, but I'm always open to learning something new.

 

heres what a proof set looks like, like I said, not even close

 

now heres his

 

Are you judging it by the layout of the set, or the actual coins?

 

the coins

 

And what specifically about the coins makes you think they are not proofs?

Judging from photos is most difficult indeed. There are a lot of knowledgeable fellows posting here. If only we could examine the coins in hand..........
