Woooooo Hoooooo!

UNBELIEVABLE!

No S 1978 Ike found in my extra Proof sets box!
Was looking to put up a bulk listing on ebay, a date run (1968 to 1981) of some of the less popular proof sets and glad I took a closer look.
I don't think I've ever seen or heard of this one before and wonder what it could be worth? Not in my RedBook?
Gotta be 5 grand at least!
I think it is better to leave it in the case than to crack it out?
Maybe I can get a new car?

Jbuck is going through his safe before posting I think. Lol!

Nice way to start off the month, with a good gotcha post.

Well done!

It did bring back some memories. I remember my 1978 proof set. All that remains is the empty lens, the coins live in their appropriate Dansco now.

Thanks everyone for the fun on April Fools Day!

(I decided to break out the coin and send it off for grading and authentication)
