[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 5194541, member: 101855"]I think that your best buy is to purchase Proof sets in the original government holder. Look for sets that are not toned. The coins should all be high quality. Proof singles are usually bad buys IMO. The only reason to buy them is if you need to fill a hole in a registry set, or, in the case of much older Proofs from the '50s and '60s, cameo Proof coins, which are often scarce from the era.
