<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1967607, member: 4626&quot;]The only way I can see them calling it the 50th anniversary of anything is trying to count the 1965 &quot;special mint set&quot; as a proof set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins commemorating other coins again.&nbsp; They&#039;re going to keep up with this nonsense it looks like.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really wish the mint would knock this kind of stuff off.&nbsp; It&#039;s getting harder to take them seriously anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I wouldn&#039;t touch one of these with a 10-foot pole.&nbsp; I have nothing against reverse-proofs in general, but making a normal year&#039;s proof set in it just doesn&#039;t make it feel special anymore.&nbsp; Besides in my mind, an annual proof set should just be the proof versions of normal coins that year, or it defeats the purpose (I don&#039;t even buy the silver proof sets).</p><p><br /></p><p>Pass.&nbsp; And I hope they don&#039;t make this an annual thing.&nbsp; It&#039;s bad enough they&#039;re doing it once.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Fun fact: the first silver proof set, in 1992, was supposed to be a one time thing, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Philadelphia Mint.&nbsp; It was so popular though that they kept making them every year since then.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
