Popular Post J P M Posted March 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) I thought I would stop by my favorite cheap spot for coin sets and see what I could dig up today. I grabbed this 1971 set ,sorry it does not have a s dime but it was nice and a little CAM looking and for only $5 what the Heck. But then I saw this 1985 and every coin was CAM on both sides for $5 also. I am no big fan of Susan B Coins but when you look at this girl she is sweet and the eagle on the back with the black color looking space background is real cool. Let me know what ya think of the CAM please . JeeP.. Edited March 18, 2021 by J P Mashoke Modwriter, Ray, USMC, Hoghead515 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dleonard-3 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I like early Lincoln cameos. These all seem to have that factory haze, which is a problem. I wonder what NCS could do for these. JT2 and Ray, USMC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I got to thinking about it last night. The guy at the antique shop I go to is a old coin collector and what if he got the set I bought along with the other 3 years in the Susan B Anthony years 1979 1980 and 1981 and what if they were all CAM What a set of coins that would be. LOL ....... Well Guess what.....................They are so I bought what was left... Mr.Bill347 and Modwriter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Some fun facts I looked up. So you see I bought 2 of the 1979 sets . Well in 79 and 81 they had 2 types of mint marks the 79 box S mint die went bad after half the year so half way through they made a new die with a bolder looking S they started putting that on the lower denomination coins first then moved up to the bigger coins later on. So each of the 1979 sets are different one has the box S and one has the bold S on the small coins. Oh also the cameo backs are black on the 1979 coins except for one of the Susan's is blue on the back. You can see them here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 So now the big question please ,to you members that have sent coins in for grading is. Should I send one of these old CAM sets in and have the coins graded individually. Does NGC break the set for grading or grade a whole set the way it is. I am guessing it will cost around $300 for 6 coins and would it be worth it. Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just not sure if they want the coins in the case for them to be removed professionally of if you have to remove them. I have a couple of those also Mr. Bill .

Coinbuf Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 If you received grades of PR70DCAM for all the type 2 coins then maybe you could eek out a small profit. But many of the photos show the coins to be hazy and those would need conservation before grading. My suggestion is to enjoy them as they are.

They are what I started my collection with. I have all the sets from 1965 to 2021. The silver proof sets that came out starting in 1992 made a great addition to my collection The 57 set is one of my favorite. Maybe because it tells my age too.

Ya Rummy13 I have always saved odd coins but this year I started buying proof and mint sets they are a cheap way for me to get into collecting. Maybe down the road I will find a deal on some of the bigger coins but for now I am having fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) I do have a question for those here familiar with the flat packs. This 1957 proof set has more of a modern shinny coat of silver unlike my 1963 proof set which is more of a flatter silver coat finish? Perhaps they were getting ready in 1963 to stop doing proof sets and just got lazy. Anyone have any thoughts on that???
