    Greetings All,
    Please advise why sets from 1960-1964 could have coins in them that could be worth thousands. I was on bidz.com and seen several quotes about buying silver proof sets from 60-64 that could be worth 10,000 grand. I am just curious what it is about the coins that make them that valuable
    Thank you,
    Bruce

    I would have to see the listing to know what they are talking about, but I would guess you are refering to unopened proof sets that could possibly contain Deep Cameo and Ultra Cameo coins. You have to be careful buying "un-opened" proof sets because a lot of them have been open and resealed. :eek:

    It's advertising baloney - a gimmick, a come on - to get those who don't know any better to bid more for the sets than they are worth.
