Why upgrade?
Good set, however, many of the coins, especially in the older sets, were toned. Not what I would consider good Proof condition. Also, several of the boxes containing the sets were in poor condition.
After ordering these proof sets, I looked on other sites offering the same exact proof sets. To my surprise I found that I could purchase them at a better price ordering them indivually other places. I did return these, though it will be more time consuming for me to buy them this way. For me, it's worth the savings to sacrifice convenience.
First 25 Years of S-Mint Proof Sets 1968 to 1992...
Fitz5458, IL7/15/2011
The presentors stated that the packageing may have a few marks on the corners but everything else was OK. When I received the package it came in an oversized box with one piece of brown paper for packing, the boxes were loose. ALL of the sleeves showed a LOT of wear. I opened a few of the sleeves to examine the condition of the coins and the plastic cases were all scratched. I don't know why HSN would allow this company to misrepresent this product. I will not buy coins again from NSN.
I knew the earlier sets would be rather used looking and I was right. Nevertheless, the plastic holders were in good shape and the coins looked great. I am pleased with this shipment.
