Good Deal On Kennedy Proofs?

@GR58, clad proofs only in this auction. Good question/clarification there. Thanks.

Here's the auction link I was considering:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-2014-S...em20f50f56f1

@tkblsc, the auction above is the by the same seller as the ebay auction you listed.

@smokerider... yeah, I am a little concerned that these will be the reject pile from this seller breaking proof sets for grading.

All this is is why I am requesting the sage advice of the esteemed CCF constituency. Please keep the advice flowing.

Ah, Dave Enders. I have purchased from him before. He has a solid rep and I have heard no major complaints about his stuff. No minor ones for that matter. I would be confident in pulling the trigger on this one.

I bought some empty proof sets boxes from him after a bad cat incident. He seems to specialize in breaking out proof sets. Must have the worlds shiniest pocket change.

I know it costs more, but here's a thought... I bought all my modern
coins via Mint sets and Proof sets. Think about it for a second... You
get all your coins, for each year, still in the packaging, without worry
of someone damaging a coin breaking it out (until you do it yourself!).
You get all the coins, and usually the sets are cheaper than buying all
as singles. This way, when the day arrives that your JFK set is a memory,
and you suddenly decide to put together a set of dimes (for example), you
already have all the dimes! You'll thank yourself for buying all the sets.
Finished the dimes now, and craving a nickel set? Oh snap! You have all
the nickels stashed away already! You thank yourself once again for buying
sets! LoL... Just a thought, it might be something that makes sense.

That's a thought for sure, ratio411, and a good idea as I am indeed collecting dimes, nickels, etc. too.

Funny thing is I actually have mint sets going back to the early 90's. I can't bring myself to break the OGP though. Maybe I'll see if I can get a lot on ebay and use those for filing album holes instead of breaking up the ones already have. At first glance it looks like I can get some of the earlier mint sets for a pretty good deal. For example, the same seller has a 1968-1998 run of proof sets for not much more than the halves are going for.

We're a compulsive lot, we coin folk...

CelticKnot- I say pull the trigger on this auction. I'll tell you why. I only need 4 silver proof Kennedys to have my set complete and up-to-date. About 95% of my entire set came from Dave Enders. Every proof I have ever purchased from him has been flawless and deep cameo. Trust me. When he says his proofs are GEM DEEP CAMEO, they are. Money well spent.
