$1.50...hell that's a steal! I have seen those sell for Minimum $30 for the set. Hell, I would buy that Kennedy from you for $10 if you want to sell it to me. I found a 1964 LMC in a roll of coins that I sent out for grading and it came back as an MS66. Yours should be at least an MS67.
PassthePuck: If you read the thread (or looked at the coins) you'd know they are proofs. As such, they will never go MS anything. They will go PR something. I'm not sure a PR67 is "worth" having graded, though I do like all my coins in slabs to protect them from friends' hands if I want to show them off. Mark
You said they were put back in the set after pictures. I was curious as to how would you place them back in the package the US Mint originally had them in. That's the question I was asking. What set did you put them back into?
Well, I thought Proofs were from San Francisco and Business Strikes were from Denver and Philidelphia. Thes coins don't have a mint mark, so they are from Philidelphia. They didn't have cellophane wraps, but I have seen Business Stricks, aka Uncirculated coin in cellophane wraps from the mints. am I wrong on all cases? edited
San Francisco didn't start striking the proofs until 1968, before that they were struck in Philadelphia (with no mintmarks).
@PassthePuck: take a deep breath. I saw nothing offensive in Mark's post. If you take such quick offense and start name-calling, you will likely get smacked by the moderators and others. Steve
@PassthePuck I did not mean to upset you--sorry that I did. As @Conder101 says, in 1964 and prior years all proofs (or, at least 99.99% of all proofs) were minted in Philadelphia. If you do not have one, think about buying the so-called Red Book and check it out--it has a ton of useful information plus pictures of a ton of coins.
Sorry. When I purchased them they were in a hard plastic case pressed together with screws. Sorry it took so long to get back to respond.
No problem. The 1964 proof sets came in a plastic cellophane flat package. It would've been very difficult to put coins back into it. That's why I was curious.
When I inherited this collection, the '64(p no mintmark) proof set was in this packaging. Undo the screws, easy to remove and put back. This was so scratched and cracked mine are now in individual airtight capsules.
@expat. You can buy a brand new plastic holder for the proof set. They're made by Capitol Plastics, and sold by most coin supply stores. I buy from coinsupplyexpress but there's other sites also.
Thank you. Have ordered 5 Capitol Plastics in white from Amazon for just under 60 Euros. I have some others that are a bit worse for wear, so instead of trying to clean them and reduce scratch marks etc. just replace them with new
