Question regarding the 1973-s Proof Sets

Proof69Eagles

Did all of the 1973-S Proof Sets come in a Red US Mint Holder with a flip top lid with the Eagle emblem on the lid??

I have one like this and it is different than the 69, 70, 71, 72, and 74 sets I have. Coins are DCAM, but I just wanted to find out if I got a nicer one, or did they all come like this that year? It also has a black sleeve and the rest of the mint sets are blue ,and the coins look like they are in individual airtight holders, or at least looking at it, they appear to be.

Thanks.

I have an almost complete set of Mint packaged proof sets and I cannot remember seeing any in red holders.
I am at work now, let me check when I get home and I will let you know.

Anyway you can attach a picture of the coin set.

Yes, as far as I know.

They are in a Black plastic case with red felt inside similar to the 74, 75 , 76 sets

The 73-s coins are typically DCAM,

Yeah, well I got three that PCGS didn't think were "typically" DCAM!!

There were increases in proof set quality through the early '70's. The '73's are often
very high quality but there would still be some coins in most sets which weren't DCam.

Yes, black plastic case with red insert and flip lid with heraaldic eagle !!!

Thanks guys.

I must have a repro 74 sleeve or something, cuz it is blue, if they changed over in the 73 sets. That is why I was asking, it didn't make sense for them to change just one year of what they were putting them in.

I have 2 blue. DCAM. Came across the first one, then looked 6-7mths., until found another.
