Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 07/31/2018 8:14 pm Doesn't the silver proof set have "United States Mint Silver Proof Set . 1996" Written on the sleeve/box ? And has "SILVER" written on the plastic cases too Edited by Mark1959 07/31/2018 8:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I thought the silver sets were in the black lens. Edited by USSID18 07/31/2018 8:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 07/31/2018 9:16 pm I really liked the Birth Year Coin Set Tootallious recently posted. I wanted to put one together for my grandson, he was born in 96. I was on the bay looking for a 1996 silver proof set and came across this. I had to look at it three times and I'm still not sure. I contacted the seller and she insists it's silver. The set looks green to me and I don't see anything on the set that says silver... Only what she wrote in the title line and description. She looks like a new seller, so I'm staying away. Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/31/2018 10:36 pm 1996 proof sets did come with black box and black inserts. Those are hard to tell from the pictures. And I could be wrong but it looks like some of the coins have been switched out. A couple of the coins don't look proof. Report this Post to the Staff

USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 08/01/2018 01:11 am mtuma3- Yes, that was my understanding as well. I just think this listing was false advertising. I didn't think it was silver. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-S-US-...ue#itemTitle Report this Post to the Staff
