![]() ![]() ![]() The cent is a deep, blazing red and shows deep mirrors that flash under a lamp. This would further my stance that most wildly toned pre-1950 Proof cents are NOT original, but rather album/holder tone, or artificial tone. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough at this though.Ĭontrary to what I think most of us would believe, the cent is bright red and has no discoloration or spots. However, I haven't seen it on post-1950 sets, which seem to have a lined texture or none at all. The cello is rather stiff and crunchy, and has a texture at the base of each pouch that appears on each pre-1950 Proof set I've seen. However, the appearance of two staples is interesting (one has tissue paper in it). The packaging matches what he and other associates remember seeing from early Proof sets that came straight from the Mint (or from those who bought them from the Mint). Here are images (this is the most challenge I've had imaging coins, ever ).Īfter discussing with a well known dealer and author, who has seen original sets before, it would appear that this set has all of the hallmarks of originality. The coins are all high grade, and the set overall is matching. This appears to be an original (Mint cellophane) 1942 Proof set. I know this is the CAC forums, but I hope some allowance will be made to show what originality looks like on these Proofs. This time, it appears to be the real deal. ![]()
