ccobb Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 01/05/2020 7:10 pm My goal for tonight was to organize and catalog 100+ old proof sets. I noticed some of the original envelopes felt thicker than others and then noticed some of the envelopes had two or three proof sets in one envelope . So I started over looking into each one and right away found this little gold coin! Have never seen one before! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/06/2020 08:45 am I think you are finding two or three "proof sets" in the envelopes is because they appear to be mint sets. One "set" from each mint. (although the only way they would have three sets would be if they are Pre-1956 sets.) Report this Post to the Staff
