<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 4077046, member: 10103&quot;]I can see what you mean.&nbsp; That ebay auction pictures are very poor, and determining &#039;proof&#039; is difficult.&nbsp; I will say that prior to 1955, proof sets were not packaged very carefully.&nbsp; My father set aside a 1954 (which I still possess) and it was packaged (individual coins) in a plastic bag type of material.&nbsp; That&#039;s why so many of these earlier sets appear in &#039;capital&#039; type holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>My advise to you would be to only purchase such sets from trusted dealers.&nbsp; Or to purchase them in person and in hand, where you can make an more educated decision based upon your own experience and knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
