You may have misinterpreted what I wrote. The coins in mint sets are excellent looking coins. I love purchasing coins this way, and actually have a 1966 and 1965 SMS in my mailbox today.

I guess I may have.
I'm always on the lookout for these coins in nice condition and most examples I find originate in mint sets. It's always surprised me how there can be so much interest in something like the '70-S sm dt cent which is common in mint sets but almost no inyterest in something like a fully Gem '70-S nickel that appears only about one time in 1200.
The sm dt cent is a great coins but it's a variety and the nickel is needed by all nickel collectors. Even a decent Gem (not full steps) '70-S nickel is scarcer than the cent.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
