[QUOTE="Duke Kavanaugh, post: 856255, member: 20544"]1. What you put in your set is up to you and you only. Some do only a date set where the Mint Marks don't matter some do a set with all common varieties and everything in between. If you look at the red book just pick what your wanting and you can always add the 7 82's later if you want. 2. Again what's in the set is up to you :P There are mint sets for most years excluding 82 and 83 I think and most proofs too. I usually do a unc set it's all unc's or a proof set is just proofs. 3. Years of looking at coins, reading books, and help from others. In the mean time post pictures here and we will help. 4. There's been many many posts about his and there is no "right" reply. The best I've heard of is this: Coins in AirTites, air tites in Intercept Shield box's with Desicant's and all that put in non pvc bags witht he air sucked out of them :D Arn't you glad you asked lol. But do a search here and you'll see plenty of topics about it. 5. Again years of looking at coins, books, ect... MS is for a coin that is meant for circulation not a proof. That coin can show no wear on it. Depending on the coin type it has different high points that will become more obvious to you on where to look later. Good luck and ask more if you want :D[/QUOTE]
