<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3681100, member: 101855&quot;]I like Proof sets and I have kept of collection of them on an annual. I have given up on the modern clad sets however. I only buy the silver sets these days. I have all the sets back to 1942 plus a 1936 set, which I put together because of its historical interest. If you have a chance you should read Roger Burdett’s book on the sets from 1936 to 1942. It is excellent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most collectors don’t seem to care about Proof sets these days. Sets that are 30 and 40 years old often sell for not much over their face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I like Proof sets, there are a couple that are really boring, the 1971 and ’72 sets. The 1971 set was the first one that did not have a silver coin it. When I first saw it, I thought that that is the dullest set of all. Things got a bit better when the mint added the Ike Dollar to the 1973 sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a 1971 set.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]987986[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
