<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 357462, member: 9474"]I have collected mint sets back to 59 and proof sets back to 56. I have personally purchased both my mint and proof sets directly from the mint since 86. Other than the no S sets, the only one I don't have is the 1981 type II. The 1979 type II is the only set I have outside the orignial mint packaging. If you saw my post from this weekend, I went after the 55, 56, 57, & 58 mint sets in OMP and 54 & 55 proof sets in OMP that were offered at a local coin auction. Just out of my price range. </p><p> </p><p>As cladking mentioned, there are many sub-par mint sets out there. I have found that many of the sets from the 70's are horrific and some from the 80's. I am trying to go back and upgrade the ones that are bad. Kinda hard though, because you don't know what you will get online and my local coin shop is very limited. I usually wait for the coin shows to come around to find choice sets. The key is to find the silver deep cameos![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
