Any coin pulled from a proof set or specimen set would have the denotation of PR or SP. The US mint set coins are billed as "uncirculated" and not specimen, therefore they are to be graded as MS. US proof sets are, of course, graded as PR. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

It is no longer possible to collect many series raw as most of the nice coins have been slabbed. Try to put together a Gem Walker set or a set of Fine or better Draped Bust anything and see how far you get. It simply isn't possible to ignore TPGs these days. They are part of the hobby and you have to accept them or don't buy coins. Report this Post to the Staff

MS means Mint State Not Mint Fresh EXACTLY CORRECT! I have pulled HUNDREDS of mint state coins from bank boxes, bags and even pocket change! Several were as high as MS-67. Lincoln Cent Lover!
