On a quick inspection I have found that the '75 and '76
Halves, 1 is a type I and 1 is a type II.

Nice!

Clearly you're a good person and deserve all those proof sets.

Thank you all.

No, not the silver sets but that's ok. I am VERY Happy with the gift!

A lot of the coins are cloudy but they are still very nice. I will most likely break them out at some point and place them in albums and 2 x 2's to make them easier to look at.

The cases are in good condition but it's Very hard to study the coins with the plastic lens in the way.

She broke down and told me she got the lot for $ 190.00 USD so she did good!

Best gift she has ever given me in our almost, (this October) 21 years of marriage!

She's the BEST!!
