that truely is an amazing find in a cent box , not just because its a proof , but because it made it through the bags , sorter, and rolling machine at brinks without major damage to the mirrors and frosting on the devices .

...which brings me to the question :Why would anyone break up a proof set?  |

wd1040- in this case it is probably that a proof set was given to some kid who didn't get the concept of proofs and cracked the the set open in order to spend the coins. This happens quite often.

BadThad, Definitely a nice find! For most of the new folks to the forum ... the "you suck" exclamation is indeed a numismatic forum term of reverence. Cherry-pickers covet this moniker! I have bestowed it on numerous occassions, yet only received it once ... it was a glorious moment.  |

Wow Thad, that thing is in better shape then the 2008-S I found!! Quote:
