That isn't something anyone can say for sure.....there is no rule that says some that the sets should grade this or that....but in most cases IMHO they say that the coins grade PF67 or better.... The grades can change alot from set to set....learning to grade is the ONLY thing to do. Speedy
I have seen some proof sets that are lucky to grade even pf-64 or 65 the best way to tell what your proof set grades is to read about how to grade coins and take the time to practice grading all types of coins.
[/qoute]The grades can change alot from set to set. Speedy[/QUOTE] Hey Speedy about this subject,what would you say about a 1963 Proof set.
With the older proof sets, lets say 1964 and older, a lot will depend on how well they have been kept over the years. Of course alot will depend on how well the strike was when they were minted. I have purchased sets in original packaging that looked really bad, only to find that it was the packaging that was giving the appearence of a dull coin. Then again I have opened some sets that where spotted because of storage environment. One thing I have done was to purchase some PR65 slabbed proofs (PCGS) to use as a guide to grade my other sets. But you really have to study grading (as already stated) and literally look at hundreds/thousands of coins before you can have a chance at accurately grading proofs or MS coins for that matter. I currently have over 100 proof dimes from 1960-1964 and you would be surprised in the differences in grade from one coin to the next. But what makes a PR70 over a PR69? I'll try and explain that one in about 10 years after I have learned to understand that myself.
I don't collect Proof sets like I used too so I can't say much....but I would agree with Walter Most of the 1963 Sets I've seen have had an ok strike but no CAM and sometimes spots.... Hope this is what you were wanting I'm half asleep today....I never take naps and today I took 2+ hour nap Speedy
