The set is FDC with toning; the coins were kept so that the reverses are generally fresh; the obverses are toned; the three bronze pieces are Uncirculated but darkened; the brass 3d has some light marks on the obverse and a similar small mark on the reverse; the box is fresh with the inside silk liner particularly free of staining.
