I bought a proof set today

While out "pimping" the coin show for January, I went to Metro Coins in Jessup, Maryland. They had this proof set, so I had to buy it. What do you think?

From what I can tell by the scan nice set and I love those 36-42 sets. Are all the coins toned?

I think you suck!

Nickel looks especially nice...

If you get the quarter graded, I might be interested.

The dime, quarter and half have tone from 3-6 o'clock on each coin. They are nicely matched. The nickel is nice, but the cent has 3 spots on the reverse.

I am envious, Micheal. I would love to own a 42 set...my birth year.

Nice proof set michael, I came across a nice proof set the other day with almost the same toning and I kick myself for not purchasing it.

Nice set Michael - those old ones always look classic! Congrats.

Yeah, that`s a pretty crappy,tarnished set.I`ll get you out of it...say,10 back of bid.

Very nice half and Merc!!! Clearly they all have the same look, a matched set. I think high grade matched sets are worth a premium. I'd have bought it too if I had run across it at a reasonable price.
