    I have to be smoking something because; A. I don't buy from online sources(except directly from the mint), and B. because I'm a better shopper and can find better deals than some?

    The only reason I asked is because I've conversed with some who are certain their's came from the Mint already sealed.

    In the Scotsman Winter Sale last January, there were three lots of (5 each) 1952 & 1953 Proof Sets in which there was probably no question that they were unsearched. All three were in the original, unopened shipping boxes. One was postmarked "JUL 29, 1952" and the other two were postmarked "SEP 11, 1953" from COMMERCE STA, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Boy, what I wouldn't have given to win one of those!

    You and me both. Book on both together adds up to $590, minus 20% for more accurate value.

    Throw the book away!

    Would you believe that the 1952 lot of 5 sold for $2100? Both 1953 lots of 5 sold for $1250 each.

    $9 is way less than melt.
    $10 is way less than melt.

    You're either buying them from someone who has not idea what the value of silver melt is or you are seriously mistaken.

    50c - .36169oz
    25c - .18084oz
    10c - .07234oz
    Total silver by weight - .61487oz x $18 = $11.07 (combined melt value)

    They were discounted for the recent coin show here by a reputable dealer, who's been in business for 40 years.

    I would believe that.

    The 1952 proof set is valued between $200 - $240, and the 1953 $225 - $245.

    They did ship some of them with the envelope sealed, but only those where the buyer just ordered one set. I have seen the original sets, addressed and mailed out with postage attached.

    Sorry if this is a stupid question but..Aren't all coins in a proof set supposed to be "cameo"?

    Since 1980, yes. They are not uncommon for the 70's, but prior to that, they are extremely rare.

    Ah, okay thanks. Is a cameo when some of the features on the coin look frosty?
