Anyone bought proof sets from keldos?

I was scoping out these "Mint Sealed" envelopes. Was wondering if anyone had any experience with this seller.

Ten-1964 Proof sets in orig. M. S. Envelopes

Russ

No proof sets, but I bought a boatload of 1964 rolls from him over the last couple years. Coins were nice enough, shipped quickly, but were obviously cherry-picked.

Yeah... I guess it's just the mint envelope gamble.

BTW, Russ... those last 2 JFKs were very, very yummy! Thanks.

Clark,

Glad you like them. I'm having fun watching your set grow.

High on the list of what NOT to say to the babysitter.

At least not when the wife is around.

If you are interested in purchasing unopened proof sets from the 50's & 60's, then here is one of the very best. Val Webb buys massive, massive numbers of sealed shipping boxes of proof sets. Do understand, all of these sellers of unopened proof sets aren't stupid! They systematically search these sets by pulling every fourth or fifth set and opening it up. If Cameo coins or DDO are found, then they will take a look at the sets to either side of them. If not, then on to the following 5th set. So forth and so forth. The unopened proof sets you find here will not be all dinged up and they WILL be truly unopened!

UNOPENED PROOF SETS

Good luck to you!

DCAMFranklin,

Good point about them picking through the sets like that. I have been checking out some of webbulator's auctions, but the '64 sets are in a larger quantity than I was looking for. I'll keep my eye on his auctions, maybe he'll offer a 10-pack in the future.

Clark-
Send him a message to him saying you are interested in lots of 10. See if he is willing to list a few groups of 10. I have always found him to be very accomodating. Good luck to you.

DCAMFranklin,

Another great idea! I sent an inquiry.

He also packs carefully, and undercharges for shipping.

Here is a question for Russ and whom ever else like to answer. Has anyone had any luck with finding nice Kennedy halves in these unopened sets? I mean cameo or dacms, AH, etc??

Russ

Rampage,

Very little luck. The odds are long, no matter who you buy from. I've found more Accented Hairs in OPENED sets than sealed.

The word back from webbulator on possibly listing 10-packs of '64 proof sets:

<FONT size=2>
IM sorry we are not able to accommodate you on your request. It would not be profitable for us to send out that size of a package on that particular item. We appreciate your interest in our auctions and look forward to seeing you bid on some of our other items. Thanks again, Val and Peggy</FONT>

Clark-
I thought about sending this message yesterday evening, however, I was running late to go out. So, here is the better way to buy these sets. Go ahead an buy his 25 sets at $275. You are not the only eBay seller not wanting to put out that much money for the sets. So, after you receive your 25 sets, you can list 5 unopened sets with an opening bid of $65. After you sell 3 groups of 5, you will have paid for your shipping cost and will reduce you per item cost to a very reasonable level. Good luck!

DCAMFranklin,

There is one slight flaw in your theory. If I bought 25 sets... even if I really couldn't afford to... there is NO WAY any of them would make it out of here unopened! I'm just not strong enough to do that. I would seek counseling on this matter, but that would take away from my coin budget.
