They can vary like any other coin and as the years went on the coins in the sets became more technically perfect in general. So looking at this years specimen set on average you could expect grades ranging anywhere from SP65-70. As to the uncirculated sets in pliofilm they tend to get marked up more easily since there is no hard case. They generally grade lower once broken out of the film. That's why it's nice to find a Silver dollar in PL with no dents or dings and if the strike is really nice (certainly most weren't great) you can get a PL67 ish. Report this Post to the Staff

As ugly points out, the modern stuff has tighter quality control. The proofs are probably 67's on average. There's always the US/Canadian disparity though, as we use a grading scale that's two points shorter. For certain years of silver PL sets, 64's may be the norm. Report this Post to the Staff

Correct me if I am wrong. As far as the mint weapped coins in celophaane, I consider them Mint unceirclated, but business strike. Again corrections are in order, if warranted. No 1 is perfik.
