<p>[QUOTE="bhh, post: 3015294, member: 89326"]Excellent information above. One thing that I believe is misleading on EBAY in particular is that many, many times proof sets from the late fifties and early sixties are described as "mint proof sets" and even occasionally as "mint sets" which is confusing particularly when the packaging looks so similar (especially to those who may not have much experience with these sets). I've found the best way to search is for "uncirculated mint sets, however, this still yields a fair number of proof sets. As many others have said, the red and blue lines are an easy way to be sure you are looking at a mints set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
