that's why the OP was talking about assembling a short set
just a personal bias, but I'd never put an MS-65 coin in a Dansco that would tone it an unattractive brown color. You spend all of that time...
I once tried putting together a set very much like this. I ran out of money very quickly and lost interest in completing it. On a very positive...

what year is that from, longnine?
is the name of this thread "I got detention" or "I need attention"?
the thing is that US Proof Sets aren't Limited Editions. They were offered to order, or better put to demand, which is quite the opposite of a...
