<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1358574, member: 18157&quot;]As I recall, (in the early 70&#039;s) there was a limit of five (5) proof sets per customer. I&#039;m not sure if that was a US Mint limit or just what my Father told us :smile...but I seem to recall it was a US Mint limit. Each year I would send in $25 I made doing yard work or delivering newspapers...and (eventually) I would get a blue box in the mail...loaded with five (5) proof sets. I could never figure out how to open those blue boxes without destroying them :scratch:...even today I find them baffling...they&#039;re like a Rubik&#039;s Cube.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the sets were (and still are) beautiful!! I still have them all. At the time, I thought these sets were going to help me buy a car! Back then you could buy a decent used car for $500. I thought that would never change, but my &#039;70s proof sets would be worth <i><b>AT LEAST </b></i>a couple hundred dollars (each) by now!!</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3"><i><b>What Happened??</b></i></font> :so-sad:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
