So if your thinking of purchasing a pile of proof sets for and envestment, your wasting a lot of money. Just not a great item for an investment.


justcarl. I think you are right. that is actually low. But I think if you were to sell them seperately you would make more money. And I agree I do not think its a good investment afterall. I love how they look though so I might just collect them for the fun of collecting :) Thanks :)

When collecting the sets from the 1950s, cherry pick for the nicest halves (fullest bell lines). A lot of sets in the 1950s have toning too, so keep an eye out for the really nice white coins.

And look out for the 1964 accented hair halves.

And if you want to put together your own type proof set, there are some really nice proof coins in the late 1800s.

And most proof sets aren't a good investment, especially from 1958+.
