1949 United States Coin Year Set in Plastic Holder
This is a five-piece 1949 United States circulation coin set presented in a vertical, clear hard plastic aftermarket holder. The set includes a Roosevelt Dime, a Washington Quarter, and a Benjamin Franklin Half Dollar, all minted in 90% silver, along with a copper-nickel Jefferson Nickel and a bronze Lincoln Wheat Cent. Each coin clearly displays the 1949 date. Physically, the coins exhibit a varied level of circulation wear and surface oxidation. The silver coins show moderate toning and some contact marks, while the Lincoln cent appears to have a darker brown patina common for copper of this era. The Franklin Half Dollar, at the top, shows some softening of the hair details on the obverse. The Washington Quarter shows a slightly uneven strike or wear pattern on the rim. The Jefferson Nickel and Roosevelt Dime appear to be in average circulated or low uncirculated condition, though fine surface scratches are visible through the plastic. The clear plastic holder provides protection but shows some surface scuffing from handling. This set represents a snapshot of American post-WWII currency, featuring several designs that were relatively new at the time (the Franklin Half having been introduced just the year prior in 1948).
