[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 24273, member: 112"]If you wanna talk moderns - clad's your guy ! Trust me on that one ;) Now - just to add a bit of levity here since Nd, and just about everybody else seems determined to gimme a fat head ( and it's already fat enough thank you very much :D ) - I spent a great many years searching through Proof & Mint sets at various coin shows and dealer' shops to find the ones I wanted for my collection. Doing just exactly what Nd suggested - cherry picking them. It can be done - but it is not easy. I sometimes spent 7 - 8 hrs searching through literally hundreds of sets at a show to find just one I wanted to buy. And the older the set is - the harder it is. But I did manage to accomplish it. Now for the good part ;) I sold almost my entire Proof & Mint set collection to one dealer not more than a month ago. It weighed over 100 lbs. And no I'm not gonna tell you who it was :p But I will say this - there's gonna be a lot of nice sets showing up in California soon ;)[/QUOTE]
