Dearborn Moderator United States 96857 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 7:12 pm you bet. as soon as I saw the package the OP put up, I knew exactly what it was. I guess having collected every single uncirculated, proof, and silver proof sets, it gets easy to recognize what is what.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3652 Posts	Posted 02/11/2022 02:42 am The 1964 U.S. proof sets were issued in cello packaging. The 1965 Special Mint Sets were also issued in cello, but then the 1966-67 Special Mint Sets were issued in hard plastic cases, as has been all proof coinage from 1968 onward. I'd be interested in seeing a photo of the 1964 hard case you mentioned. Is it possible it's some type of aftermarket case? Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 02/11/2022 02:50 am I wrote down, and when I go where I have the collections I will take photos. What must be understood it is the Mint always do some sets for specific customers or some gifts. I like to collect those, with the price come on. It is a passion and is the way is go.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96857 Posts	Posted 02/11/2022 07:12 am @silviosi: 1964 the mint produced their proof mint sets in packages like this and nothing else. It was until 1965 that the Mint started using hard cases for the proof sets. If you have a set from 1964 in a hard case, then somebody used an after market case and set the coins in it. If the Mint had used a hard case for the 1964, trust me, I would walk to the Moon trying to get one for myself..... Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
