<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1338607, member: 23885"]I have made a previous post about my 1953 proof set, and gotten some very good advice from you all. As I look at the set in hand, I agree with the seller and CT experts that the Half,Q, and rossie are natural toning. I am satisfied with these three, but the nickel, and cent lag behind in comparison. With this being said, I would like to carefully remove the plate and replace the 1953 Nickel and Cent. Here are the two that I am pondering for replacement. The 53 Nickel is slabbed at PR66 via PCGS. I have never cracked a slab before, and am hesitent to do so. On the other hand these will never be for sale. I plan on making a coin book/album via Shutterbug to catologue my collection. I would like this Proof Set to be on the cover of my U.S. series catologue. How would I go about properly removing the nickel from the slab? What are your thoughts on this cent? Very much appreciated. ~Jason</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]153797.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]153798.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]153799.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]153800.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]153801.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
