It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Life is merely a series of choices....If the set is not what I want I'll merely sell it and take my lumps. No big deal. I spend more on the Lottery....Ken

    With Marty, I too thought it would be something else...a little more "risque" image

    Looking at the pics, I went back and forth....same pic for the set so I think seller #2 ripped the pic. Maybe they have a set to sell, no pic, look at other auctions and ripped it to use. a lot of people rip pics from the USMint for SAEs, mint sets, etc (but, for an older set, it is nice to see what you will be getting).
    The pic is really the same as you can tell by the penny, the half dollar, and the warp on the lower right of the set.

    So, Marty/Ken, what is it about the set that you see that you liked so much? The half has what kind of look for you?
    (I'm trying to learn)

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Probably not.

    These sets are common, and aside from those that have been abused, they are pretty much the same unless you are buying D-Cams or exceptionally high grade pieces.

    Still it's a darn shame that Ebay sellers insist that they use the same photos for different lots. Ebay does not charge them any more for new pictures. All they have to do is take a new photo, but I guess that's too much trouble.

    So far as the Proof-like claim, that was auctioneer's hype. By definition, these SMS were proof-likes, especially the 1966 and '67 versions of them!

    Actually, if Marty gets that set, he's the one getting screwed. I saw it and didn't even add it to my snipe list. image

    If anybody wants some of the plastic holders for those SMS'es, I think I have three or four empty ones.

    Non-melted, of course. image
