    I bought these all when they came out except for the Bicentennials and the 1960 proof set. Long forgotten in the basement.

    There is nothing in the attic except insulation and an old TV antenna.

    @gumby1234... Thank you... Was curious, since I always check for 1964 sets. Have been lucky finding a few AH Kennedy halves that way. Cheers, RickO

    Cool find! I moved last year but my collection is so small that I'll not be finding any misplaced treasure anytime soon... :blush:
