[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7811799, member: 115909"][ATTACH=full]1342221[/ATTACH] Idk why but for some reason I am really drawn to this set. It just looks so beautiful.. Did the US Mint even make proof sets in 1868? Like the kind they have today where you can buy all the coins of that year in proof? I thought that started in the 1930s. If not it means someone assembled it piece by piece which is extraordinary! It’s currently for sale on HA so if you want to see better pics the link is:[URL]https://coins.ha.com/itm/early-proof-sets/1868-10-piece-proof-set-pr65-to-pr67-ultra-cameo-ngc-total-10-coins-/a/1333-3407.s?type=notice-description-conditionreport-reservechange-060513[/URL][/QUOTE]
