The cents in my 1981 proof sets are beautiful!!! I don't typically buy low-quality sets. If I do, it's at a significant discount, and I then sell...
I'm not speaking as to your choice of coin dealer, but I've seen these all over the place for double face value; that is, $50 a set. BU doesn't...
They can't possibly sell them for $19.95 a set, because there's $25 face value in a 100 coin set!!!
I just wanted to express concern. I didn't want to risk speculating on the cause. :whistle:

I was inspired by another thread on bad proof cents. I posted the below coin as an example of one that I have. Then I got thinking: We're always...
It's a lovely deep cameo coin. Last week I bid on an eBay lot of proof sets, and in the list it said 1984 - BAD. Well, I didn't know how bad,...
Also, the 2000 silver eagles that are in the Millennium Coin and Currency sets were struck at West Point, but do not bear a W mintmark.
Oh, man...have I got you beat. I'm not much for one-upsmanship, but in this case, I have to brag. I've got the worst proof cent you've ever seen....
