Comment

The Proof-Like coins were release in a 3 coin set containing the 2$50, 5$, 25$00 coins.

Images of the Proof-Like Set: (The set does not come originally with the coin in a flip, but due to the hazard nature of the plastic used in the set usually the owners protect the coin with some extra holder)
