<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 1088256, member: 307&quot;]Yes, they are real. The United States Mint packaged Proof Sets in boxes from 1950-1955. In 1955 they also introduced the &quot;flat pack&quot; which is the way that your 1957 Proof Set is packaged. It is important to note that the Mint made both types in 1955 with the Flat Pack being the less common packaging.</p><p><br /></p><p>As BR549 correctly noted there is some controversy over whether or not the enveloped sets came from the Mint sealed or unsealed. I agree with his conclusion that they were sealed years later by humidity as many of these sets are commonly found with completely open envelopes that appear to have never been sealed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
