<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1235346, member: 24633&quot;]Welcome to the neighborhood!</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the much older proof sets were put together because the Mint didn&#039;t issue complete sets. There are also the years of the Special Mint Sets, 1965-1967, when the Mint didn&#039;t make proof sets. You&#039;ll also find that some years there were only silver proofs, some years there were only clad proofs and other years there were both silver and clad proof sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Until 1999, the sets were either 5 or 6 coins dependant upon the year since some years had Ike or SBA dollar coins. In 1999 the set consisted of 9 coins with the SQ&#039;s, 2000-2006 it was 10 coins with the Sac $ and SQ&#039;s and beginning in 2007 it increased to 14 coins with the Sac $, the Prez dollars and the SQ&#039;S. When the SQ program ended in 2008, the National Parks quarters replaced them in 2009. All of this info is available in the Red Book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not all sets included a COA, and you should also know that the plastic cases are not airtight. One of the biggest problems with some of the proof sets is that many of the coins will develop an unsightly haze on them because the cases were not impervious to environmental conditions. My best suggestion when purchasing these online is to make sure you have a good, &quot;no questions asked&quot; return policy. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
