<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 26604123, member: 101855"]I would look at how much you paid for the set, and how nice the coins are. The 1950 Proof set coins are notorious for dull luster and poor eye appeal. A lot of those coins have been dipped to improve them. Often that did not work. They only came out duller. Having these coins in undipped condition is a plus. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for storing the coins if you keep them, I would buy a Capital Plastics holder and put them in it. If there are any Cameo coins (both sides, not one), considered having them certified. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had a 1953 Proof set which was in the original box and cellophane, but the cellophane went bad. I put the set in a Capital Plastics holder. I now actually enjoy it more. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for returns, good luck. I doubt that will happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
