[QUOTE="smullen, post: 196250, member: 5165"]I have a ""Redbook" on US proofs, but it doesn't mention a whole lot about the other types of Proof sets like the Legacy set that was just a sell out, the Prestige Proofs and the S.M.S sets, is there a better book that will cover this topic??? Is there a book for Mint sets??? That covers each year and the variations??? I love to read and learn... 2nd to lastly, When ordering Proof Sets How do you tell the differences in the special attributes for certian years, such as 1960 L.D. L.D. = Large Date 1960 S.D. S.D.= Small Date 1969 -S No.S.D - No S Dime 1970 -S S.D.C - Small Date Cent 1970 -S No.S.D. - No S Dime 1971 -S N.S.N.- No S Nickel When I look on e-bay I rarly see mention of this and on coinshop sites I never see mention.... They just list 1960 Proof set or whatever year set... And on Mint Sets 1970 L.D. 1970 S.D. I'm trying to build a whole set of each... Lastly, Ive got several (1959, 62, 63 )proof sets where the Nickel looks really toned... Almost a golden... I think I have one or two where the Dime looks this way too... Looks kinda neat, but I figure with my luck and if I have it, it has to be a distraction or a negative... Opinions? I kinda dig'em, but I'm curious what you all think....[/QUOTE]
