    OK let me try writing this again :(

    I like collecting proof sets and enjoy having a complete set of clean untouched (for the most part) little to no scratches coins.

    Anyhow I am having trouble finding a few sets from the 90s (especially 1995 and 1997). All the local dealers never seem to have any in stock :crying:
    so I was wondering if anyone has ever bought them online before and if so can point me in the right direction.

    Or if anyone has sets that they are willing to part, please let me know

    Mucho gracias!

    www.mintproducts.com has great proof sets. Also they come in the gov't packages. Never had a problem yet.

    Not me...why buy it online when there are so many out there. Keep looking and pick the best one you can find as they never seem to charge more for a set that is better then the other.
    There are too many shows that have hundreds of these to search for IMO.

    Not in my area. Maybe 1 or 2 small shows and the larger shows are too far away to get to.

    If you really loved coins you'd move ;)

    But even small shows will have dealers with plenty of them to look through.
    My coin collection is a marathon not a sprint :D

    Either way Good Luck with the set! It's great when it's done!

    LOL yeah it was,the funny thing about his comment was that I may be moving depending on what the gov't tells me :) :yawn:

    Buy 10 or so from someone that has a nice return policy. Pick what you like then return the rest.

    Some folks may not like that approach but it appears that you have no other alternative. (Aside from moving that is! ;) )
