    Technically a Specimen Set, but most people refer to them as Proof Sets.

    Prices range from $180 to $500.

    Technically scarce, but in actual fact there are a lot of them about. My advice (even though no one asked for it image) is not to jump on the first one you see unless it's top notch.

    Good!

    I expect you'll be needing my mailing address, then. image




    One of my favorite past numismatic holdings was one of those sets, but a REALLY nice one, with all sorts of purples and violets and nice mirrors on the coins. I got two genuine 1877 Indian cents in trade for it, from a Liteside dealer, if that gives you any idea of how stunning it was.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
