<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lincoln64, post: 17582, member: 1232&quot;]Okay, I got a little crazy on eBay and bought something I thought I knew about. Now that I&#039;ve received it I&#039;m not so sure.</p><p>The description was: </p><p>&quot;I have a 1963 Proof set enclosed in a nice plastic case.All of the coins are flawless except the Lincoln cent has some tarnish on it.Should be worth something,and shipping only .75 cents&quot;</p><p>I checked the feedback, 100% positive. I checked the &quot;View Sellers other Items&quot; and there were six or seven items, but no coins. So, I&#039;m guessing this isn&#039;t a dealer.</p><p>Anyway, the coins arrived today. They are in a Whitmam five-coin holder and contain a half dollar, quarter, dime, nickel and penny.</p><p>The coins are reeeally shiny and look like silver, the penny is hard to describe. At first glance it looks like a steel penny, but then it looks like a mint penny that has been lighly coated with silver, just enough so the red still shows through.</p><p><br /></p><p>Questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>When an item is listed as a &quot;Silver Proof Set, are all the coins minted in silver, or is it just a mint set of the silver coin era.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are the probabilities that these coins are silver plated?</p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s the deal on the penny?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
