<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3418710, member: 112&quot;]So lemme ask you a question John. I spent about 40 years trying to put together a complete set of original Mint and Proof Sets, with original being defined as being in original mint packaging. My searching was relentless and extensive involving thousands upon thousands of sets. And whenever I ran across a set nicer than one I already had I&#039;d purchase it and use it to upgrade the set I had. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I quit collecting US coins I had almost of them, only lacked 2 of the oldest Mint Sets and all of the &#039;36-&#039;42 Proof Sets. In all those years of searching, I only ever 1 of the sets from the &#039;36-&#039;42 group, just one, and it was a &#039;41. And all I saw of it was pictures. Sadly, at the time I didn&#039;t have the cash to pay for it. Years later, a dealer member of the forum posted pics of an original &#039;42 set. And those were the only ones I have ever even seen pictures of - I&#039;ve never seen one in person.</p><p><br /></p><p>So now the question - have you ? In pictures or in person ? And no, slabbed doesn&#039;t count, only original sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
