Lot 2695
1956 Double Mint Set in
original holder and envelope of issue. This set is totally original, the
coins are toned with magnificent colors, especially some of the cents, from the
sulfur content in the cardboard holder and paper sleeve of issue. We note that
this is an obverse/reverse set, with 2 of each coin of issue from 1956. Don't
forget, there wasn't a 1956-D half dollar, but the holes are there for the
coin. On the original envelope, it was addressed to someone in Arkansas and
postmarked February 4, 1957. Worth a premium for the toning.
Estimated
Value $125-150.
