[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 24840253, member: 101855"]Here is a very nice 1950 Proof set, which I have stored in this Capital Plastics holder for over 30 years. I don't known how long it was in this holder before I purchased it. The cent that was originally in the set was toned. I replaced with a red one soon after I bought the set. Unless you are buying cameo Proof coins, I would advise you to buy complete Proof sets. Proof singles, especially for the common dates after 1956, have been historically over priced.
