This is very good advice. Will do that from now on. Here's another curious proof set I have (1962), where the dime and cent are exposed to each...
Haha Indeed. I am not in this hobby for investment sake anyway that's why I'm buying proof sets LOL I just find these very unappealing to look at.
Well unfortunately I'm not interested in cleaning coins or removing them from the package. I may just sell these cheap and buy a new set that I...
What I find interesting is these came with haze directly from the mint. It’s just getting worse.
Got this fresh from the mint in May. You can clearly see they have gotten even more cloudy. I swear I am storing them in a cool dry place! Quality...
Got this last week! Not really sure if I agree with the grading my dealer got it but it was cheap.
Aww. You took it out of the bag lol Hope you got a flip to put it in or are planning on sending it in for grading friend. :P

There's many different kind of collectors I suppose. Personally, the packaging for proof sets is just as important as the coins to me. But however...
If I may put in some input it’s actually one of my biggest peeves when people do what you say. Cent goes in cent, nickel goes in nickel. Why...
Fascinating, I did not know this. $35 for a proof set back in 64/5 that would be insane! Thanks for the info :)
I appreciate all the responses! That’s interesting I wonder who would’ve ordered that many besides dealers back then anyway. I’ve come to the...
They misunderstood my question. Back then that’s just how they came. Pretty sure they didn’t use hard casing until 1966 with the special mint sets…
Yeah, you’re probably right ;)
Some do...
Agreed, most of these I'm sure are too damaged and falling apart. I do know the paper inside isn't original, my dealer only keeps one at a time...
Wow. This is crazy to me! I guess I'm just one of those that like everything original, I think sellers should tell their customers if something...
While purchasing some proof sets, I notice quite a different hue to those "flat-pack" type of envelopes. Taking a closer look it seems on some of...
Loved reading all of your responses! Thanks everyone. :) I suppose once I finished I can start with the silver sets, then go back before '55 all...
