<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPeace$, post: 1815188, member: 42727&quot;]CAUTION:&nbsp; Modern day mint/proof are SUPERIOR in quality and storage mechanism (holder) than in years past.&nbsp; Prior to about the mid &#039;70&#039;s, the proof coins weren&#039;t all UC&#039;s (Ultra Cameo&#039;s) or Cameo&#039;s for that matter.&nbsp; The technology to produce proof coins started changing in the early 70&#039;s, so be very careful when you buy them.&nbsp; I think viewing them in hand would be the best, but I know it&#039;s not practical.</p><p><br /></p><p>Liberty Coins on eBay is great to deal with, have a wide selection of mint sets, proof sets and silver proof sets that you can buy for reasonable prices.&nbsp; I&#039;ve purchase quite a few from them.&nbsp; I did have to return one set because there was hazing on the coins.&nbsp; That was common for older sets in some of the holders used by the mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Advice:</p><ol> <li>Go slow when buying the older mint/proof sets</li> <li>Learn to judge photographs properly.&nbsp; Many defects can be hidden in a photo</li> <li>Don&#039;t buy older mint sets if seller is selling multiples on one listing.&nbsp; You will not get to see a picture of the coins you will receive and that will likely lead to disappointment.&nbsp; If they have a return policy it may be okay, but you&#039;ll loose on the return shippin.</li> <li>Always make sure the seller has a return policy </li> </ol><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
