Morgan - MS-62 Lots of bag marks but no wear Jefferson - MS-65 FS well worn dies Roosevelt - MS-66 nice mottled toning
yeah, Collector1966, I think Doug's right and it's too late. I appreciate it. I'll buy the coins that I want and look at sets to see if anything...
I am not looking for a cameo set per se. For example, I am looking specifically in the 1962 sets for a cent and a nickel. I am wondering if it is...
let me know if you have an extra, buddy
I have an interest in collecting ultra cameo coins of the pre-1964 era. I know that many of you (Doug especially) have gone through dozens if not...
Cameo surfaces have become commonplace on the US proof coins the mid-70s to the present day. Cameo proofs in the 1950s and 60s are quite a bit...

I give you a lot of credit. You are off to a better start in 3 weeks than many who have been in the hobby for years. One bit of advice I would...
I think it's awesome too that you have a piece of his collection, krispy. RickieB is someone who is loved by people in this hobby. He is a great...
but then it wouldn't be from circulation, now would it?
Yes, they are real. The United States Mint packaged Proof Sets in boxes from 1950-1955. In 1955 they also introduced the "flat pack" which is the...
Oh how I want a proof IHC!!! Very nice coin!
I have yet to find ANY proof coin in circulation and boy howdy, let me tell you that I have seen a lot of circulation coins in the past 30 years!...
