Condition report:
The coins exhibit a range of surface conditions, including dark brown oxidation, handling marks, and contact marks consistent with circulation. Several examples from the 1960s retain portions of original mint lustre, while earlier issues show significant toning. The Sandhill folder shows heavy wear, including creasing and staining to the interior card. The blue cover has significant damage along the bottom edge, which has been repaired with aged adhesive tape. One coin is displaced from its intended slot. The folder is missing several coins from the original set.
