Decent Garage Sale Score. Proof Sets 1959-1964

Banemorth

So my wife and I love going around to garage sales and I found one with some older proof sets. Purchased the 59-64. Guy was asking $170. I wanted it for $100. Talked him down to $120. I was happy with that price. The 60-64 had never been opened so it was fun to open them up too. All of them look pretty standard except for the nickel in the 1960. From what I've seen most moderns aren't worth slabbing but this one looks so pretty. Thoughts?

Sorry for the bad cell phone pictures.

Good buy even at $120...$25 is the going rate on these recently.

Too bad they weren't packed with DCAM gems! I don't see anything about that nickel in your photo that says it should be graded, I say leave it as is and enjoy.

Nice pickup at $20 apiece, cant go wrong there. I like the nickle but its to hard to tell what grade it might get.

nice lil score at $20 a pop
yeah the nickel just doesn't stand out enough for me though

Appreciate the feedback guys! I'll leave it where it is. Looks nice in the set wrapper

Don't forget to look for varieties. I've made far more money on varieties than on cameos.

Somebody's a little sensitive about the way "nickle" is "spelt"?
I say have them all slabbed and make PCGS happy.

The best I've done is Cam Franklin for a 1960 set. It only went PR65 though so it wasn't a big deal. Couple others I thought were Cam but PCGS didn't agree. Nice find for $20 a set though.

Ive had good luck stopping at yard and garage sales looking for coins. Last year i was able to buy an 1983p special mint set. Guy had a sticker on it with a price of $4.50. i was able to talk him down to $4. lol

Haha I know. I was one of the ones that spelled it wrong in my OP and then edited it
