Very nice!  One is from the year I graduated High School. I now feel old.   And congratulations on the baby! |

Be careful. I started the same way and in the last 14 months I have 65'-2010'. Once you start it's hard to stop.  |

I agree - Out of nowhere I got obsessed with proof sets too.

Be careful or you might fall into the next phase of the obsession... Cracking those proof sets for Dansco albums.  |

Jbuck, one of them is also the year that I graduated highschool. Thats one of the reasons that I am working on a 1986 world coin and banknote set. http://omnicoin.com/collection/Johnny1328_1986sk8er722, also for those years the US mint put out prestige sets, and there pretty reasonable for both of those years. Here is mine for 1986.   Edited by Johnny1328

Those and a duplicate 1969 (birth year) proof set are the only ones I have not cracked. The Prestige Sets were gifts from my mother, so they will always remain intact. |

Ha ha jbuck and Johnny1328. I see my high school graduation date in there too!
I remember buying a set with some graduation money, only to receive three more as gifts later that week! While my family clearly saw my coin obsession as a "sickness," but at least they were nice enough to support it:).
Too bad I didn't graduate in 1999 - that set is worth a little more!
Thanks for posting Sk8er722!
