[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1265513, member: 27043"]1976 Silver Proof set arrived today. it's simply an upgrade to the circulated coins I had filling the "Bicentennial" holes in the 7070. Less than impressed with the quality of the coins, to be honest...no CLUE what those marks on the obverse of the half are, and the mil spots are all over the place. And yes, the quarter IS that tarnished color. The papers in the case make it clear it came from a smoker's home, and my guess is that the quarter's "case" wasn't sealed well...a conclusion seemingly supported by the fact it was the only one I could pry open with my fingers. But in either event, it's certainly not a high demand or tough to find set, and the price was right (well below melt), and they DO look better than circulated clads. :)[CENTER] [ATTACH]137437.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]137436.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]137435.vB[/ATTACH][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
