I was on bidz.com and seen several quotes about buying silver proof sets from 60-64 that could be worth 10,000 grand. I am just curious what it is about the coins that make them that valuable Thank you, Bruce   08-25-2005, 09:39 PM   #2 (permalink) Charlie32 Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Edmond OK Posts: 1,176 I would have to see the listing to know what they are talking about, but I would guess you are refering to unopened proof sets that could possibly contain Deep Cameo and Ultra Cameo coins. You have to be careful buying "un-opened" proof sets because a lot of them have been open and resealed. __________________ ANA J-1213365 CSNS J-9619 YNA #62 Join the Young Numismatists of America   08-25-2005, 10:32 PM   #3 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,530 It's advertising baloney - a gimmick, a come on - to get those who don't know any better to bid more for the sets than they are worth. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   08-25-2005, 10:51 PM   #4 (permalink) Draco Member   Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Port Orange,Fl Posts: 87 I do thank you for your replies.I have all four sets and was trying to see what made them worth alot.I looked at them and must admit the kennedy really looks deep cameo to me.I believe that says it all.
