From a 1961 Proof set just opened -NEW PICS-

Merch

Check these out. These are from a 1961 unopened proof set that I opened. Me likey. The reverse on the dime is cameo, slight cameo on top right obverse too. I am going to stick to buying coins this way, cheap, and super nice!


Here are the new pics of Jefferson and Lincoln









And for you cameo fanatics, here is my 1980 proof set

if you bought it off EBAY be careful.

Why is that? I cut these out of the plastic, and the envelope smelled like my grandmas house.

It's because there are many fake unopened sets on EBAY.

The Jeff seemed closest to a Cam. I'm not sure about the others.

Be careful with 'unopened' sets.

Purchases from sellers on Ebay can be full of problems - we all know that- I think the coins look great and chaulk this one up to a honest seller- MM

who was the seller? Does he/she list frequently?

There are plenty of original sealed proof sets on ebay. The fact that most are reseals is a bunch of hype.

As long as you stay away from sellers who seem to have large amounts of them each week you will do fine.

Looking at your pic of the cent, it looks like there is an extra line near the date. it may be an illusion, reflecsion?

Doesn't really look like it from the pics . The set looks nice. Could you take more pics of the jeff?

The seller was "s-pcoin" on ebay, here is a link to their items. Shipping was fast, and they were responsive to my questions.

I will post more pics of the Jefferson and the cent a little later.

Hope you guys like the new pics, I think I was wrong about the 1961 Jefferson, it is toned though. Sorry! : )
