[QUOTE="Clint, post: 1495355, member: 34620"]I love sets. I enjoy flipping through a Heritage Auction catalog of 1930s to 1950s proof sets. The picture of the quarters is telling... often I see individual proof coins being sold for more than their respective value, and I think, "Why should I spend $7 for that one coin, when I can get all 5 for $30?" I also like making sets...as in, when I find a good deal on 1964 proofs, then I put them all in a Whitman holder. I have even assembled a set of ugly toned (tarnished?) ones. So, diff'rent strokes![/QUOTE]
