Seeking Complete Uncirculated Mint Set

Go to garage sales, auctions and estates sales in your area. Sometimes, you will find what you are looking for at great prices. Go to antique shops, now that silver and gold is high, you will find great deals, because if the items were priced before the metals went up, then they are priced low. Sometimes the items were priced by a spouse, that have died and the item's priced have not changed. Good hunting.

I bought a UNC set 1965 to 1998 listed on ebay. All the coins were beautiful. no problems at all.
So then I bought the proof sets 1968 to 1998, Again all coins look perfect. OH! You know that in 1982 and 1983
there is no UNC mint set but there are proof sets in those years. I'm totally satisfied in what I received.
I feel it is not truly pure collecting like going to coin show or flea markets and buying there piece by piece. But this
is being done so I joined the crowd. Now the early dates will be my next challenge.
For the UNC sets, I tore them apart very carefully PUT EACH COIN IN A 2X2 and then dated then into a three ring binder. i have binders for cents(wheat & LMC's), nickels(buffalos & Jeff's), Dimes(mercs & Roosies), quarters(Washintons).
Haven't had time for halves and dollar coins. I'm not sure if I want to break apart the proof sets, yet.
Thanks for letting me tell what I have done......................................zeke
