Add 31 years of history to your collection with just one set! This immense collection features a total of 31 Proof Sets, each in its original condition and packaging. All US proof sets from 1961-1990 are included. A special issue 3-piece silver bicentennial set from 1976 is included in addition to the regular set from 1976. The government didn't make proof sets from 1965 to 1967, however, they did make special mint sets, which are also included in this special collection. Note: All coin items considered for return must be in their original condition as sold. Seals and cases contribute to the value of the coin and currency collectibles and must remain intact and unbroken. This applies but is not limited to: grading cases, Mint and Proof cases and packages, bag seals, original government sealed packaging and/or any other special packaging or containers. About collectible coins… Treasures from around the world – delivered right to your door! Our large selection of collectible coin sets, proofs, ancient and uncirculated coins is ideal for both the novice and the experienced collector. HSN coin experts travel the world for the best coins - from the latest U.S. state quarters to the Widow’s Mite coin, discovered during an archeological dig in the Middle East. Most coins include a Certificate of Authenticity that validates the coin’s origin and condition.

I was extremely excited when I saw this set of coins for sale. I received my shipment on January 13, 2009, and was very disappointed when I went through all of the sets. Two of the cases were broken, the packages on some of the older sets looked like they had been handled quite a bit, and some of the coins were of very poor quality in the older years. The box the coins were shipped in was pretty beat up. I have bought some items from HSN and have never had a box show up looking so beat up.

Unfortunately, I am going to return these. The quality was not good. First, I was really disappointed at how they came shipped. The items were not as protected in the box as normal for HSN items. Several items were damaged. In addition, some of the packages were in bad condition. I thought the price was right when I watched the show. I am hoping to not have any problems with my return. Very surprising....everything else I've gotten has been very good.

These come in OGP "original government packaging". Every coin show I watch stresses how important this is - and with 30 years available, its a nice sale!

I almost didn't buy these because of the comments I read about them. I'm glad I did. I thought they were in really good shape considering the fact that they are going back 46 years. I received them right away and my husband was really happy with them

I thought these sets were beauties! I see no flaws or "used" qualities. I mean they don't look like a 2007 but come on people, what do you expect?

I think this product meets my needs perfectly, it is so hard to find all of the sets individually, and I like to show them off to people. Of course some look old, but they should. Great value for the money.

I've read a few of the comments -- and are people nuts, these are 40+ year old proof sets and the ones I got look real good. But I guess people like to complain

Very disappointed in coins. Packaging in poor condition. Original coin packaging is dirty with excessive wear & tear. Beyond what is normally expected. Many of the boxes have separations & torn corners. COAs were missing from 18 of the years.
The protective lense cases were scratched, scruffed, & dirty. Worse yet, the 1990 case feel apart in my hands. Awful. Not nearly the quality or condition as shown on TV. These coins are being shipped back from whence they came.
