    I've never broken up a 1988 dated set, but it is relatively common to break up sets dated 1971 to 1974. Nothing else you can do with them.

    I love spending proofs that just don't make the cut.


    Later, Paul.

    Most the impaired proofs that I find in the cash drawer have the fields really marked up. Yours is pretty nice...was the 2 X 2 in the till as well? (sarc)

    I usually take my coins out of their 2x2's before I spend them! ;)

    Nice find! I've come across maybe 1 or 2 similarly in my lifetime. Always a nice score!

    That’s cool! Must have been recently added to the general pop.

    Around 1990, I came across two or three proof coins in change from a White Hen Pantry (a c-store).

    It was in the part of town where I could see a kid 'liberating' some coins from a parent's or grandparent's collection.

    People had not yet busted up too many proof sets in frustration with their illiquidity/ unsalability.

    Fun find, I have about half dozen proof quarters that I've found in change.
