MikeThePenny Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 08/09/2009 8:32 pm I got a group of mint set and all looked great. Then I looked at the 1962 and I was like ugh. The half was bad looking and then I seen the nickel, it does show up good but it's blueish grayish. It's a sweeeet looking nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 08/09/2009 11:13 pm Mike that set is a Proof set, see the PC at the bottom left corner. also a mint set has 2-envelopes like this one, except 1- envelope has a blue strip across the top, from Philly, and the second envelope has a red strip across the top, from Denver, Mike....

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 08/09/2009 11:24 pm I have had mint sets where the "crimp" to separate coins actually crimped the coin as well and left very strong damage to the coin. This looks like it has been handled heavily, moved around a lot or dropped a few times and the weight of the half has been working it's way through to the neighboring section.

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 08/09/2009 11:28 pm The coins look good except for the spotted and stained half Dollar......Looking from my experience through the original cello package is very deceiving, the coins usually look MUCH nicer once removed from the package ( if that is your intention ), I also collect these sets, good luck, Mike...

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 08/10/2009 01:24 am I would venture a guess that it would be there if you remove the cello wrap, well at least the coins "should" be more mirror-like...... Report this Post to the Staff
MikeThePenny Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 08/10/2009 10:12 am It's a proof set, I got a group of 1960-1965. Um I'm not gonna open the sets but still gonna keep this one because of the nickel. I will just buy a new one. I have the full set of proofs from 1960-2009 the 2009 one thats already out. lol Report this Post to the Staff
