<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1099947, member: 18157&quot;]You hit the nail on the head! Many sets are purchased in bulk, cherrypicked, then recombined with inferior coins to round out the sets for resale. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I buy ten (10) silver proof sets from the Mint each year...on the first day of sales...and then salt them away. I especially like the silver proof Kennedy half and Roosevelt dime; the silver proof set is the only place to find them. :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have to admit, I really don&#039;t like the post-2004 laser frosting technique. Compare those coins under magnification to the older, sand blast technique and you&#039;ll see a world of difference. The newer coins just look cheesy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />...imho.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I like the Premier sets (1992-1998) because they&#039;re more difficult to cherrypick, have a beautiful sand blasted frosting, and (as the OP says) can be purchased at a nice price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
