Here is another

Thanks for clarification .
yes they are complete unopened uncirculated sets. That's what I needed to hear .
I'm still a bit confused how the complete set of 1975 SF SET have no mint mark on them even the Eisenhower and penny,nickel ,quarter, dime, nor half. The Denver set all have mint marks.
Again thanks for the lesson

And no your not rich.

thanks for all the information Yes it was nice to STAR GAZE and have my hand on the cookie platter
That is why I sought out the forum and truly appreciate the knowledge and help
I am quite sure to have many lows but the help I can gain from enthusiasts here will build that platform to blow that bubble right out of the sky

Even if it is a tiny bubble

Those are what are called Special Mint Sets. From 1965 to 1967 the mint did not make regular mint sets or proof sets. They made Special Mint Sets(SMS) that are a kind of "hybrid" of the two. They are better than typical uncirculated coins but not as high a quality as proof coins. The 1965 sets were packaged in Pliofilm similar to the 1955 to 64 proof sets. The 66 and 67 sets were in hard plastic holders. None of the 1965 to 67 coins had mintmarks in either the sets or circulation coins. The mint stopped using mintmarks in those years because it was thought that it would keep coin collectors from hoarding coins (There was a major coin shortage at the time and the government blamed it on coin collectors. They even went so far as to consider legislation to make coin collecting illegal.)
