<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Matthew Kruse, post: 7307795, member: 107431&quot;]Just saw this thread now... Very nice proof sets, especially with the older ones! One of the coolest looking ones from what I saw is right here. (1937 P) You can see the penny on the right has that beautiful red toning. Very nice!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1277591[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I love the older coins designed by Adolph E. Weinman. He engraved the walking liberty half and mercury dime, probably my two favorite US coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1277594[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, in the above picture, there is a number of those 50s yellow envelopes from the mint with proof sets inside. Something to look for inside those are the deep cameo silver Benjamin Franklins. The proof sets are sealed in a flimsy plastic and you can see the coins inside. Deep Cameo means that you can see the contrast between the portrait and the rest of the coin. It should have a nice frosty color. Anyways, the deep cam coins are considerably more expensive. </p><p><br /></p><p>You have a very nice collection of proof sets there. I would look into getting some of the more desirable ones graded. They are worth much more than melt value and the ones after 1965 are still cool. (Don&#039;t forget that 1965-1969 Kennedy half dollars are still 40%!)</p><p><br /></p><p>And thank you so much for the giveaway. Glad to have you here on CoinTalk! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
