.............. had good luck.

I checked out the supply of pre 1971 proof sets and found a 1962 set with a Cameo half, a 1964 set with a possible DCAM quarter, a 1968 set with a possible DCAM dime (with attractive toning) and a 1969 set with a DCAM nickel. I scooped up all four sets on the cheap.

Nothing major, but still a good day looking at coins, with me picking up four common coins in uncommon condition. Pre 1964 90% silver Cameo proofs are just gorgeous to look at. Pre 1971 DCAM Jeffersons are very tough. Finally, finding a Cameo clad dime from 1968 is very hard to do (I have found maybe 3-4 in over 7 years of looking). The toned Cameo dime is actually my favorite of the four coins.

You just never know what you will find, if you spend a few minutes looking.
