Stopped by a local shop while returning from court this afternoon to snoop. Had not been there in a while but have had good luck poaching in the past.
Today was no different. I snagged a 1955 proof set in a Capital Holder with a stunning DCAM (at least in my opinion) nickel. By far and away the best 55 nickel I have ever found. Made me drool on my shirt the minute I set eyes on it. The cent, quarter and half also have frosted devices, but the fields are hazed over and not of high quality. The set was only $120.00. I plan to remove the nickel and replace it with an run of the mill 1955 and resell the set.
Also I picked up a 1971 proof set that has one of the best looking Cameo/DCAM halves (two sided) I have ever seen. For $7.00 I could not resist.
All in all a nice afternoon pickup.

Congrats on the nickel and also on the 1971 Half. Has to be one of the hardest coins (DCAM Kennedy) I have come across to find in any decent kind of condition.
Some people have more luck than others.

You will ruin it for all cherrypickers.

Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody.
Just kidding. Way to go! Got pics?
