Description

The listing, 1966 Special Mint Set has ended.

1966 Special Mint Set
Great coins. The Quarter is PQ and it would deffinately be worth bidding on this set just for that coin.
Look at the pictures close, these are the coins you will receive.
I'll be listing some other nice coins this week so please check out my other auctions.
Thanks for looking.
Sorry, I won't ship out of the US. No need to ask.

Questions & Comments

This is probably the nicest 1966 SMS Quarter I have ever seen in person. A very high quality coin and deffinately the star of the set. I just looked at the pictures here for the second or third time since listing it and the pictures although quite nice don't even do this coin justice. Just figured I'd throw that in there. It's truely a ***GEM***coin.

Thanks. I was going to pop the quarter out and send it in to PCGS but my membership lapsed and it would wind up costing me a hundred bucks or so to rejoin and submit a coin. I would love to know what they would grade this thing. If the winner does happen to submit it anywhere I would really love to here back from you when it comes back. I'm not just blowing smoke to get a high bid on this, it is a really nice coin. I would say it's a cameo, not deep cam but a lower end cam. But I don't think they give the SMS coins the cameo attribution anyway since it is not actually a proof coin. ??? anybody know if they do that or not?

Anyway. thanks for looking and good luck. I talk too much :)

sms coins can be graded as cameo but its incredibly hard to get. A deep cam desiganation on a sms coin can bring u a huge paycheck. Look great good luck

yeah, I remember checking one of the price guides a few years back and it was up there :) This quarter is pretty darn close. Thanks for looking.

you already know I'm without knowledge. please, what is a "special" mint set, and what does "PQ" mean ?? thanks

PQ - Premium Quality
A special mint set is a set that the mint issues usually when the mint does not issue a proof set. They are basically very close to proof quality coins. You should get some coin collecting books and a online subscription to coinworld if you are really getting interesred in this stuff. Thats where I started exploring coins.

grading of USA coins is amazingly involved !!!

Jan 7th, 2011 at 4:53:06 PM PST by

If you really are interested here i a book every collector should own. This is a great reference that I keep next to my computer at all times.
Simple to use and the standard of the hobby.

wow, thought the bids would have gone a bit higher on this set. Can't wait to see what happens later today.

Looks like this is going to end to late for me to get to the post office today. I WILL SEND IT MONDAY. Monday I will send you a confirmation number to track your item through the USPS. Please do not send me any messages asking where the item is or that it isn't there. And PLEASE do not ask for a refund until you get the item. The only reason to ask for a refund is if you want to return the item. I have literally no control over how long the USPS takes getting it to you. Since the SLOW Christmas USPS Fiasco and all the refunds I had to issue for slow mail I have decided to add tracking to every auction. It costs me an additional 80 cents per auction. That adds up and comes out of my pocket so please have some appreciation for that and don't complain about how long it takes.
THANK YOU ALL SINCERELY,
Tony
