[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1472453, member: 27043"]Thanks for the kind words, gang! :) Most of the clad proofs I buy separate. I have no use for any of the other coins in the set. Silver proofs are broken out of sets. The rest of the silver in a silver proof set can be sold for more than enough to make up the price difference between the set and what most dealers charge for individual silver proof halves...and, as it happens, I rather like the ATB quarters in silver, so I don't mind holding on to them for a while. :) There's a couple of notable exceptions in my set...the 69-S and 82-S proofs I pulled from rolls, oddly enough. (The 69-S looks it too *lol*) I have a fondness for such things, since i think the coin must have a more interesting story to tell than one that simply sat around in a plastic case all its life. Given that there's no serious premium on most of the Kennedy halves, I don't mind including such things in a set from a "value" perspective either.[/QUOTE]
