<p>[QUOTE="DEA, post: 5366463, member: 90140"]Perhaps I'm too easily amused but I found this insert in a recently purchased 1959 proof set to be . . . well . . . amusing. Why did I purchase a 1959 proof set? Merely amusement. I have many proof sets that my daddy-o purchased directly from the US Mint in the 80s and 90s, but I have only one each from the 70s and the 60s (I think). Price was right so I took the plunge. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, for your enjoyment. I hope you are amused as well. I get the impression Rae V. Biester was receiving or responding to far too many "unnecessary correspondence" from us OCD coin collectors. Did you see that at the bottom right? The Government Printing Office (GPO) even assigned an official number to Mr. Biester's note. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1228360[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
