[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1087653, member: 26729"]kanga: That is what I did for the post-64 coins. Even then though, it's really hard to find some year sets in good shape. So it's not so simple. I just finally found a decent enough looking 68 proof set and 69 mint set the other day. These 2 sets have been particularly hard as I have looked through dozens and until now they have all been clouded and just really nasty looking. 77 is another year I had trouble with... Every set I looked at was a cloudly pee yellow. The 5 coins left to upgrade from sub-BU are all 47 and earlier. bqcoins: Yeah, I have gotten several off of eBay, and ended up with some good deals. I don't get anything locally for the kind of pricing I get on eBay either. I used to be click happy on the auctions, and luckily never had an issue, but everyone around me seemed to be having bad luck with eBay so I made a concerted effort to ween myself away while I was ahead and attempt to rediscover the long lost (to me) thrill of the chase within shops and shows. It's nowhere as easy, that's for sure. I could make a few clicks I suppose and finish things up... That just isn't the mode I have been in for the last year or more.[/QUOTE]
