<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 1792861, member: 9474&quot;]My local dealer took in a 36 proof set as part of a big estate that he purchased very similar to the one that the OP is showing.&nbsp; The coins were all well struck and very nice looking.&nbsp; I saw the set and looked at the coins.&nbsp; Although they were amazing looking, they just didn&#039;t look right, but neither of us had ever seen a 36 proof set and wasn&#039;t sure if it was our inexperience that made us question the look.&nbsp; He sent them in to NGC to be graded and every one came back altered coins.&nbsp; Apparently they were all whizzed to look like proof coins.&nbsp; He still has them in his shop and is selling them as altered coins, but I just can&#039;t help thinking that they would have fooled many a collector.&nbsp; Fortunately, since they were part of a big collection that he bought he didn&#039;t have too much invested into the individual set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
