Is this a proof set?

I don't know, but sure looks to me like a fake, or a mint set in a proof envelope. Thank everyone for their time as always!

Yes it is and that's what the packaging from the mint looked like.

 

Thanks. WOW there were some oooogly proofs in the 60's. no mirrorlike field, dings and gouges, ugh. I was thinking of buying a 1962 unopened set, but no way now. There's supposed to be a difference between proof and mint, those almost look circulated!

 

Looks like they put the set and envelope on a scanner. Guaranteed to bring out the very worst in your proof coins.

 

I'm thinking that the images aren't the best.....the 60's Have some nice proofs sets.

 

Alright. I may buy one after all. they're trending at $20 incl shipping. Thx y'all. I hope the scans just kill the lustre, I'll be so sad if I get a set tht looks like that.

 

The cello packs that were used in those days had a tendency to disguise the mirrored fields.

Bad scan, instead of a pic Overpriced, therefore NO bidders

 

Yes and trying to catch the true look of the coin thru the cello is tough.

 

Why bother with ebay?

Your local coin shop probably has a bunch of '60s proof sets you can cherry-pick from. Coin Shows too.

 

True, got a 62 Proof set from my B&M a while back. Had a couple of other years of well.

I love to browse shows and shops. There are good deals to be had. Thanks for reminding me, I haven't been to a shop in awhile, don't think I ever looked at anything besides what's in the display case. Standing there looking through 50 years of proofs sounds so cool!
