WE HAVE GREAT FEEDBACK. Here is a truly amazing find. Still sealed like the day it left the Mint almost 58years ago. The name and address of the original recipient are blocked out on the photo, but not on the box itself. The box is in fantastic shape, especially considering it was packed and sealed almost 58 years ago! This is truly an amazing find. A sealed case of 20 pristine 1960 Proof Sets that have never been touched or seen since being packed by U. Mint employees seven decades ago in December of 1959. This is more than just sealed Proof Sets, this is a piece of history. If you choose to open it, you will be the first person in almost 60 years to touch the envelopes inside. You would be the first person to lay eyes on the treasures inside. Can you just imagine the feeling of anticipation you will have as you open the first Proof set envelope? Will they be Cameo Proofs or better yet Deep Cameo Proofs? Remember if one set has Cameo or Deep Cameo Proofs, chances are all 20 of the sets will have Cameo or Deep Cameo Proofs, as they all would come from the same production run. What a proverbial Goldmine. Or do you keep it closed? Watching it increase in value more and more with each passing year. How about passing it down to your children or grandchildren? Can you imagine if our fathers or grandfather one day gave us a US Mint sealed box of let’s say, Morgan Proofs? Wow, I honestly just got goosebumps writing that. Either way you are a winner. This item is extremely rare, ask yourself, how many have you seen being offered for sale? The answer is none. If someone has one, they don’t sell it, if a dealer has one, they tear it open and cherry pick all the sets and keep those Deep Cameo Gems for themselves for grading. They know they only need a couple of high grade Deep Cameo’s to pay for the whole case. Whatever you decide, you are sure to be pleased. It’s just that rare. We will consider all serious offers. Here are some facts about the 1960 Proof Set. 1960 Proof Sets were the first to contain widely recognized varieties deemed significant enough to merit their own catalog listings: the Large Date and Small Date Cents (as a general rule, very few Proof Sets can be collected by variety, underscoring both the consistent quality produced by the Mints and the collector hunger for anything different and unusual). Sales for the year jumped by more than half a million sets over 1959. Each set contained five coins: One example each of the Lincoln Cent, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter, and Benjamin Franklin Half Dollar. Mintage: 1,691,602 sets. About the sets: 1960 was a great year for the variety collector. Some of the most spectacular Proof varieties occurred during this year. The first varieties to come out of 1960 were the Large Date and Small Date Varieties. The Small Date appears to be 10 15 times rarer than the Large Date. Some of the Sets may contain the following very rare varieties. 1960 Tripled Die Obverse Cent with a Large Date over a Small Date (examine “LIBERTY” for evidence of tripling of the letters and the date for evidence of over-date). 1960 Doubled Die Obverse Cent with a Large Date over a Small Date (examine “LIBERTY” for evidence of doubling of the letters and the date for evidence of over-date). 1960 Doubled Die Obverse Cent with a Small Date over a Large Date (examine “LIBERTY” for evidence of doubling of the letters and the date for evidence of over-date). 1960 Doubled Die Obverse Dime (examine “LIBERTY”, “IN GOD WE TRUST”, and the date). 1960 Doubled Die Reverse Dime (examine any of the lettering on the reverse). 1960 Doubled Die Reverse Quarter (examine the eagle’s wings, “QUARTER DOLLAR”, and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”). 1960 Doubled Die Obverse Half Dollar (examine “LIBERTY”, “TRUST” and the date). 1960 Proof Coins are found with Brilliant, Cameo and Deep Cameo surfaces. Brilliant Proofs are the most common, Cameo Proofs of any denomination are fairly common, and this is the first year in which Deep Cameos begin to become more common, but still rare. The Nickel is the most difficult to locate in Deep Cameo Proof. Original packaging: Each coin was sealed in its own compartment between two sheets of flat pliofilm. An octagonal, foil seal imprinted with “US MINT PHILADELPHIA” was placed in a sixth compartment, and the flat pack was then inserted into a mailing envelope with a card.
