One proof is in the original packaging. For display, I removed the black foam surround from a Lighthouse 2x2 holder. The plastic just fits in there nicely. I show this one with the reverse up in my display tray, and the second one with the obverse up.</p><p><br /></p><p>To its left I have my extra 1957 proof with the reverse up, so the wheat and memorial reverses are side-by-side. It chronicles the change in design at the same time it shows how they were sent from the mint. Here is how that looks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]592975[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The second proof was part of the album I bought and was kind of spotted. When I rinsed it in acetone and xylene that come off and revealed this toning and cameo effect. That was a pleasant surprise!
