Message:: [QUOTE="JCro57, post: 3009365, member: 92083"]Other than silver proof and silver mint sets, be it contemporary or starting in the early 1900s, unless one has a variety or error within it, many people in the business do not like them. Experienced collectors don't want them either. (What would I want a 1973 proof set for?)  Other than someone buying their birth year, they're basically dust collectors. It is highly unlikey they will increase in value because what is common will always be common even 300 years from now. I agree with [USER=10103]@green18[/USER]. Look for errors and varieties carefully in your sets. With as many as you have, you are bound to have some. For example, A 1982 mint set where the dime has a missing "P" mintmark is a cool one (if you also have mint sets as well as proof sets). The other is maybe a set or a particular coin that has some really cool toning. Even things like die breaks, lamination, strikethroughs, etc. For example, just the other day I bought a 1974-S uncirculated silver Eisenhower. I didn't notice until I put it in a slab it had a cool strike through in it. See here: [ATTACH=full]746085[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]746086[/ATTACH] I hope this helps.[/QUOTE]
