They look UNC to me ...but I can't make out the mint Mark.
I have two sets of these ...just not sure where I put them
If I do find them in the near future .. I will check to see if
either of them are proofs.

Silver buisness strikes, meaning that they WERE, in fact, minted at the San Francisco mint. I think the "S" mint mark plus the fact some of the coins are PL confused the seller.

The original set is awfully pricey and not graded, merely signed and put into some sort of authentic slab. You can do better price-wise, plus I agree they don't look like proofs. The second link PCGS authenticates them as proof -- for a lot less money. Good luck! Best Regards,  George |

The coins in the first link are definitely not proofs.

Yes, there were both proof and uncirculated versions of the 40% three piece bicentennial set.
This set looks to be uncirculated. Every proof version I have seen have exhibited strong cameo.
This would not be an issue if PCGS would have been kind enough to include this information on their labels. Just saying.

Didn't the MS version have a different lettering style on the reverse of the dollar? BTW, that's a lot of rotation on the quarter.

MS, after 1972/72 non-cameo proofs are pretty unusual and these are not cameo. The obv of the quarter is clearly not cameo and not mirror finished on the fields. Quote:

What's the point with a common coin to slab it if you don't have it graded too. Just super weird in my head..
Any way I agree there is little doubt it's ms unless his photos somehow are that terrible.

As Coinfusion pointed out via his link, if they were proof, the label would say so, which is what I was thinking.

Clad proof Bicentenial Ike are all Type 2. The clad proof bicentennial Ikes come in both varieties. The ones from 1975 proof sets are Variety 1, the ones from 1976 proof sets are Variety 2. |

I already have a set of these... The "gem proof" ones aren't very uncommon... It's the "collectors Universe" sets that are hard to find because they are numbered, but they don't list a grade at all even though they were packaged through PCGS... They don't even put proof or unc on those sets... I know it's gimmicky but I really want both sets... Plus there is a set with all three signed by President Gerald R Ford...
