FTW Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 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.

RWB Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 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 Share Posted July 8 (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 by Mr.Bill347 Typo GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldFinger1969 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 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 Author Share Posted July 8 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...
