65, 66 and 67 SMS have to come from sets, you can buy them individually, but that just means someone else pulled them from sets. Same with all proof coins, silver or clad. They will be cheaper buying individually, as whoever pulled them from sets is also selling the rest of the set loose. All other coins from 1964 through 2000 can be found in circulation except the oddball 1976 ones and the 1970 D and the 1987 P and D, as those three were only issued in mint sets. 2001 and up P and D coins were in mint sets or direct from the mint in bags or rolls.

Yes, 65,66,67 SMS sets or circulation strikes. 64,68, 69,70 have proof sets and mint sets that were issued.

Coin Chick .. sorry I did not get back to this post and answer your question.
But it looks like you did get your answer.

This series Dansco 8166 really is a challenge, for me, because of all the different sources you have to get the coins. most of the coins can come from Mint sets .. SMS sets... proof sets and silver proof sets.

Problem coins will be, to find better grade 65,66 and 67 BU coins and 1982/1983 "P and D" coins, because there are no mint sets to harvest the coins from. I am starting to think I may have to purchase these coins in slabs, to get the grades I want.

When I am doing a set like this, I go to a good dealer with my list. I have found sometimes it is cheaper to buy a complete proof set vs a single proof coin ... but sometimes it is not.

Also the 2005 to 2010 mint sets have satin finish coins.
Some members don't like mixing satin coins with business strike coins. Some members, like myself, do not mind mixing them. IMO satin finish coins are better grade and have less mintage.

Thank you to everyone for all your input. I will start studying prices and figuring out how to tackle this project..

GR58 - I was a little disappointed when I found out I had to mix silver and clad in this book. I was hoping for one or the other. It's the OCD in me.
