I am starting my collection of Proof Sets again.
I had to sell my large collection many years ago and I just hated to do it, so I have started it all over again.
It is not what you would call big time coin collecting, but it is something I have wanted to do for a very long time.

This is the first in my collection and I will keep posting them till I someday finish
There is something about Proof Sets that I just love. They are to me anyway, just beautiful coins and I love collecting them.
It is going to take quite a while but that is the fun now isn't it lol.
Best
Alan

I love the old proof sets in their holders as well. I guess b/c I grew up with my grandfather getting me one whenever he ordered one for himself. They remind me of him.

Depending where you are located, if you has opportunity to go to the mint boutique you can buy some of the sets. Me I like the proofs, so I agree with you. Damage you give away the old one, because today will cost you more. I will do by denomination proof collection.

Similar to the '82 set with the space for a SBA that never was.
