<p>[QUOTE="Histman, post: 2791356, member: 75066"]I have a question for you since you have been collecting these sets longer than I have. I am pretty "type A" about collecting these sets in the OGP. Unfortunately, I do not like toned coins, so there is a problem. I ultimately created my own "uncirculated" mint sets going back to 1947. Something I could afford. I didn't like the cardboard sets because of the toning. The original proof sets I have go back to 1954 (boxes) and I am beginning to look for the others. Cost-wise, I may be able to go back to 1950 in OGP (assuming it is really OGP). Here is the question: Given the choice, how would you pursue these Proof Sets? Buy them original OGP, Buy them already busted out and put in Capitals, or buy the coins as proofs and set up my own set? Any approach will be costly, and I know it is a preference thing, but...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
