FTW Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Hi. I am going through some proof sets. I started with the 1970 proof sets that I have and came across one that does not have the S mint mark on the Nickel or the other coins. It only has the S on one of the pennies in the set. Are these the proof sets I should be looking for? I really do not know which proof sets are worth the most. I have several from every year starting from 1963.

FTW Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 I am not awake. I just noticed this is 1971. GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The item pictured is an "Uncirculated Set" (UC) better known as a :"Mint Set." The little plastic disc even says "Mint Set." They are not proofs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bill347 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) It is not a proof set, mint set, not proof. I have every proof set from 1954 forward. Only two years did not have proof sets but SMS special mint sets. Edited July 8, 2022 by Mr.Bill347 Typo GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldFinger1969 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 EVERYBODY was collecting or gifting those proof/mint sets from about 1965 onward. I think the Mint made so many that most (all ?) barely trade above face value today, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 Thank you for making that clear. I need to do more research. I found the proof sets that I need to look through. GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
