Seller claims that these coins are proof, he said he added pictures that show their mirrored surfaces... can anyone confirm or deny this? I have an uncirculated set of these, but I want a proof set of these and I don't want to waste money on multiple uncirculated sets... http://www.ebay.com/itm/17152714884...fbd752a&cp=1 |

I'm not into these modern coins but because I can see an S mint on some of them indicates proof coins. But some of these don't look proof to me. also I'm pretty sure the U.S. mint made a bunch of State Quarters in uncirculated condition bearing the S mint mark. Lets wait for the experts on modern coinage to chime in. |

John, I very much agree with you
T-BOP, these are the silver bicentennial sets... they made both unc and proof in the San Fran mint

Your link now goes to a 3 piece 1976 PCGS set.

They look UNC to me ...but I can't make out the mint Mark.
I have two sets of these ...just not sure where I put them
If I do find them in the near future .. I will check to see if
either of them are proofs.

Silver buisness strikes, meaning that they WERE, in fact, minted at the San Francisco mint. I think the "S" mint mark plus the fact some of the coins are PL confused the seller.

The original set is awfully pricey and not graded, merely signed and put into some sort of authentic slab. You can do better price-wise, plus I agree they don't look like proofs. The second link PCGS authenticates them as proof -- for a lot less money. Good luck! Best Regards,  George |

The coins in the first link are definitely not proofs.

Yes, there were both proof and uncirculated versions of the 40% three piece bicentennial set.
This set looks to be uncirculated. Every proof version I have seen have exhibited strong cameo.
This would not be an issue if PCGS would have been kind enough to include this information on their labels. Just saying.

Didn't the MS version have a different lettering style on the reverse of the dollar? BTW, that's a lot of rotation on the quarter.

MS, after 1972/72 non-cameo proofs are pretty unusual and these are not cameo. The obv of the quarter is clearly not cameo and not mirror finished on the fields. Quote:

What's the point with a common coin to slab it if you don't have it graded too. Just super weird in my head..
Any way I agree there is little doubt it's ms unless his photos somehow are that terrible.
