[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 3014986, member: 22377"]1959-1964 sets are in similar packaging for proofs and mint sets (the mint set has coins from all mints in it). 1965-1967 are the years of the special mint sets (no other sets were made in those years). The 65 is in an envelope while the 66&67 are in plastic holders. Starting with 1968 the proof sets came in hard plastic cases (while mint sets were in cellophane packages). Mint sets always included P&D (and sometimes S while San Fran was still striking coins for circulation with a mintmark). Initially all the sets were placed in one envelope but at some point (I’m not sure which exact year) the Mint started using separate envelopes for P and D (buying a mint set from the mint would mean you would receive both...on eBay you might see just one set due to people breaking up sets for various reasons like albums or grading).[/QUOTE]
