Anything unique I should be looking for in these sets ?
Gold coins.
61 had a DD, on the reverse of the half, I believe.
Also, the nickels often come in nice blue or gray colors.

Never got a gold coin from a proof set, but I did get a 1 gram gold bar from a Mint Set several years ago.
The only major one to look for would be the 1961 DDR Half.

I assume the 1 gram gold bar wasn't actually sealed in the mint set.
Both the 62 and 63 cent have multiple DDR's Look for the Doubling on the initials.

Just the DDR's noted above... I usually pass those years by - I search for the 1964 sets.....Cheers, RickO
