<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1498317, member: 37839"]Thank you all. I am beyond pleased with the set. Taking a rough look a the coins I'd say that the minimum grade would be 65 for the MS coins, and probably 67 for the proofs, and quite a few way better than that. I Lucked out, as the set was a "white glove" assembled one from proof sets and mint sets, so it had incredibly few marks, and I'd bet the original owner had replaced coins over the years with upgrades. Some of the coins have started to tone already--the MS ones have some golden toning that will be beautiful in the future. None of the proofs are "lazy hazy," so hopefully they will tone nicely as well. This was an incredibly lucky find from a dealer friend on Ebay, and he let me know that he'd just gotten in a really nice set, so I jumped on it. People criticize Ebay wildly, but if one has 10-15 friends there, and they are reliable, credible dealers with whom one does lots of repeat business, great coins can be had at attractive prices....this one was way under market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
