    I can’t find this exact set on the internet for comparison. The dollar and quarter are Philly and the half is Denver. From what I’ve found with some quick research the only proofs are from SF. These sure look proof. The coins are pristine - any flaws are on the plastic case.
    Any ideas? 884C95EA-2470-4871-A661-25B1CA7327FC.jpeg C1852F40-66F3-4841-A0D4-781FB96BCDFA.jpeg 2B479CA6-FCD1-418A-830B-EEEB60EF6BD3.jpeg EB259E96-F755-436E-AFE5-5C8B484CFC76.jpeg DAF972C8-B597-47A2-B683-6463FA5ECB1D.jpeg

    That is a 3rd party put together set. Looks like they plated the coins as well.

    Yep, just an aftermarket holder. As stated, looks like the Ike has been plated. The Half and Quarter look cleaned.

    Here is a quick pic of the official set from the mint.

    Yes, all will have an S mint mark if proof.

    Ok. Thanks everyone.
    Is plated good? Does it change the value?

    No. Plated is bad. Basically kills any numistic value the coins would have had. Luckily, the coins in question are common, circulated coins not worth more than face value.

    You can separately get each of those coins in proof condition fairly inexpensively. The side by side comparison would be remarkable.

    As mentioned, that is an aftermarket set put together outside of the mint, and the coins are either plated with something (chromed, perhaps), or just really harshly polished. I'm afraid they're not worth much more than face value as-is.

    You probably would no longer think they look like proofs if you held them next to a real proof set.
