ROUGHLY
ROUGHLY 22 MINUTES LEFT FOR THE MONTH AND MIKE'S
THAT I AM LOOK GONE FOR
LITTLE WHILE AND THIS
WILL BE GONE.
I REMEMBER THE DAY WHEN
WE USED TO DO THESE ON A
FAIRLY RECURRENT OR
REGULAR BASIS.
REGULAR BASIS. >> Guest: I DO TOO.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
>> Host: ONCE UPON A
TIME, MIKE MEZACK COULD
CURATE THESE AND YOU
COULD GET EVERYTHING YOU
WANTED AND NOT NO MORE.
>> Guest: NO.
THAT IS FUNCTIONALLY
WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH
ALL OF THIS IS I TRY TO
GET THE GLARE OFF OF
THESE.
THESE.
THESE. THE UNITED STATES PROOF
SET IS THE MOST EAGERLY
ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF
THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT EVERY YEAR
AND MAYBE THE SILVER
EAGLE THIS YEAR, BUT
CERTAINLY THE UNITED
STATES PROOF SET.
IT HAS BEEN A STALWART
OF THE COLLECTING
COMMUNITY SINCE 1936,
THE FIRST YEAR OF ISSUE.
THEY HAVE PRODUCED THIS
ALMOST EVERY YEAR SINCE
1936 AND THERE SOME WAR
YEARS THEY DIDN'T DO
THESE AND CERTAINLY THEY
HAVE PUT THESE OUT SINCE
THE 1950s.
THE 1950s. UNDERSTAND, PROOF IS NOT
A CONDITION.
A CONDITION. PROOF IS A METHOD OF
MANUFACTURING.
MANUFACTURING. THESE COINS ARE MADE
DIFFERENTLY.
DIFFERENTLY. THEY ARE STRUCK MULTIPLE
TIMES, UNDER HIGHER
PRESSURES.
PRESSURES. IT GIVES IT THIS
PRESENTATION LOOK AND
FEEL THAT THEY WANT FOR
COLLECTORS.
COLLECTORS. THESE ARE COLLECTOR ONLY
COINS.
COINS.
COINS. WHEN THEY MAKE A PROOF
SET, THE ONLY WAY TO GET
THOSE COINS IS IN THE
PROOF THAT.
PROOF THAT. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF
THESE WAS EVER MADE,
INTENDED, OR RELEASED
INTO CIRCULATION.
INTO CIRCULATION. THEY ARE ONLY AVAILABLE
IN THESE ORIGINAL UNITED
STATES GOVERNMENT ISSUE
SETS.
SETS.
SETS. THEY IN ESSENCE SELL OUT
EVERY YEAR.
EVERY YEAR. SO EVERYONE OF THESE
COIN SETS IS A SOLD-OUT
LIMITED EDITION.
LIMITED EDITION. NOW, WE START THIS SET
IN 1960.
IN 1960.
IN 1960. WE END THIS SET IN 2009.
IT IS 50 YEARS OF PROOF
SETS.
SETS.
SETS. UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN I
DO THAT, THERE ARE 50
SETS.
SETS.
SETS. UNDERSTAND, FOR THOSE OF
YOU THAT ARE KIND OF THE
AFICIONADOS OF THE COIN
WORLD, YOU KNOW THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
DID NOT MAKE PROOF SETS
IN 1965, 66, OR 67.
THEY DID MAKE
SPECIAL
SPECIAL MINT SETS WHICH WERE INTENDED TO TAKE
THE PLACE OF PROOF SETS
AND WE INCLUDE THOSE AND
FOR PEOPLE THAT SELL
THESE AND WHETHER IT IS
IN A BIG SET LIKE THIS
OR SOMETHING ELSE,
SIMILAR TO THIS OF A FAR
LESSER MAGNITUDE THEY
USUALLY DON'T INCLUDE
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. THE
THAT. THE REAL REASON THEY
DON'T INCLUDE THEM IS
SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE
JUST AS RARE AND
COLLECTIBLE AND VALUABLE
AS THE PROOF SETS THEY
WERE INTENDED TO
REPLACE.
REPLACE.
REPLACE. SO FROM 1960 TO 2009 YOU
GET EVERY SINGLE REGULAR
ISSUE PROOF SET BY THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
AND HERE IS THE KEY.
I HAVE SOLD LITERALLY
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS
AND THOUSANDS OF THESE
AT $1299.95.
AT $1299.95. I HAVE SOLD THEM AT 1199
AND SOLD SOME AT 999,
BUT I HAVE NEVER EVER
EVER SOLD THIS SET FOR
LESS THAN $899.95 AND
LET'S PUT THIS INTO
PERSPECTIVE.
PERSPECTIVE. THERE ARE 50 SETS HERE
AND IT IS LESS THAN $20
A SET.
A SET.
A SET. IF
A SET. IF YOU WILL THAT, BY THE
2020 PROOF SET AND I
HAVEN'T PRICED IT AND I
ASSUME THEY GO UP LIKE
ANYTHING ELSE, IT WILL
BE ABOUT $45 AND RUN YOU
THAT FOR THE CURRENT
YEAR OF ISSUE AND FOR
LESS THAN HALF OF THAT,
YOU CAN GET 50 SOLD-OUT
LIMITED EDITION UNITED
STATES PROOF SETS.
THE WAY I PRESENT THIS
IS YOU GET TO BUY THIS
AND BUY IT LIKE A COIN
DEALER AND PEOPLE SAY
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN.
YOU RARELY SEE LARGE
COLLECTIONS OF UNITED
STATES PROOF SETS, AND
THERE IS A REASON,
BECAUSE COIN DEALERS BY
THE SETS, COLLECTIONS,
AND THEY BREAK THEM UP
AND SELL THEM
INDIVIDUALLY FOR A WHOLE
LOT MORE MONEY.
IN COIN COLLECTING, THE
PIECES ARE WORTH FAR
MORE THAN SOME OF THE
PARTS AND THEY ARE WORTH
MORE THAN THE SUM OF THE
PARTS.'S WHAT HAPPENS IS
WHEN YOU PAY $20 A SET,
YOU ARE GETTING
SIGNIFICANTLY MORE AND
YOU'RE NOT GETTING $899
OF COINS INDIVIDUALLY
AND YOU ARE NOT GETTING
$2899 WITH COINS
INDIVIDUALLY.
INDIVIDUALLY. YOU'RE GETTING WELL IN
EXCESS OF $3000 COIN BY
COIN BECAUSE YOU GET TO
BUY LIKE A COIN DEALER.
AND I HAVE HERE IN THE
NATIONALLY ADVERTISED
NATIONALLY ADVERTISED CATALOG AND WE DO THIS
AND YOU GO IN THERE AND
YOU GO ON THE WEBSITE
AND BY ALL OF THESE
INDIVIDUALLY FOR WAY
MORE THAN $899.
WHAT I DID AND I HAD MY
ASSISTANT DO THIS WHOLE
THING AND WE GO OUT
THERE AND FIND THE
RETAIL PRICE OF THE
CATALOG FOR WHAT THESE
COINS ARE INDIVIDUALLY.
UNDERSTAND, THERE IS
OSTENSIBLY A PREMIUM FOR
THEM TO STILL BE IN WHAT
WE CALL THE ORIGINAL
GOVERNMENT PACKAGING.
GOVERNMENT PACKAGING. YOU GET ALL THE ORIGINAL
BOXES WHICH IS A BIG
DEAL.
DEAL.
DEAL. SO
DEAL. SO TO DO THIS, I NEED
YOUR HELP.
YOUR HELP. LET'S START HERE.
I WILL DO THIS.
JUST LIKE THAT.
SO WHEN I SAY IT IS $20
A SET, IT IS NOT $20 A
LENS.
LENS.
LENS. THAT IS A SET.
IT IS LESS THAN $20 A
YEAR SO THAT IS THE 2009
SO I DO WANT YOU TO HOLD
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. SO
THAT. SO NOW YOU PAY $20 FOR
THERE'S FOUR LENSES.
I WILL GO TO THE
NATIONALLY ADVERTISED
NATIONALLY ADVERTISED CATALOG AND SHOW YOU
WHAT THE COINS ARE
INDIVIDUALLY.
INDIVIDUALLY. LET'S START WITH THE
PENNIES.
PENNIES.
PENNIES. THIRD TEEN DOLLARS $.95
APIECE.
APIECE.
APIECE. THIS IS A PIECE.
NOW YOU ARE $55 FOR
THOSE, SO LET'S PUT
THOSE IN THE BACK.
AND WHAT WE HAVE NEXT?
LET ME DO THE QUARTERS
AND WE ARE $55.
SO THAT IS THE LAST YEAR
OF THE NATIONAL PARKS
QUARTERS AND THOSE OF
THE TERRITORIAL
THE TERRITORIAL QUARTERS.
QUARTERS.
QUARTERS. AND THOSE ARE ONLY SEVEN
DOLLARS APIECE.
DOLLARS APIECE. SO NOW WE ARE $100 AND
THOSE OF THE
PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS
PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS FROM 2009.
FROM 2009. ONCE AGAIN, THOSE WILL
RUN YOU $7.50 APIECE AND
ONLY ANOTHER 30s AND NOW
WE ARE $130 AND YOU ARE
PAYING 20.
PAYING 20. LET'S LOOK AT THE LAST
BIT OF THIS.
THE HALF DOLLARS IS
$7.50.
$7.50.
$7.50. THE DIME IS FIVE DOLLARS
AND THE NICKEL IS 4 1/4
AND THE SACAJAWEA GOLDEN
DOLLAR AND THERE IS
ANOTHER $10 AND $.50.
I AM SORRY.
THAT IS $13.50 FOR THE
SACAJAWEA GOLDEN DOLLAR.
WE ARE ABOUT $200 FOR
THE LAST YEAR OF ISSUE,
AND I WILL DO A LITTLE
MASS AND REMEMBER YOU
PAY 20.
PAY 20.
PAY 20. >> Host: RIGHT.
>> Guest: IT IS 200.
NOW LET'S GO TO THE
2008.
2008.
2008. >>
2008. >> Host: I WOULD DEFER
TO YOUR EXPERTISE
REGARDING THIS.
REGARDING THIS. >> Guest: THAT IS
PERFECT.
PERFECT.
PERFECT. THOSE ARE ALL THE COINS.
THERE THAT IS AND YOU
ARE PAYING $20 A SET AND
I WILL GO BACK ONE YEAR
AND WE ARE $200 RIGHT
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. THERE WE WILL HAVE THE
QUARTERS OUT OF THAT AND
THESE ARE 1815, 18.50
AND $20 AND WE HAVE OVER
$100.
$100.
$100. AND
$100. AND THEN WE HAVE THE
PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS AND
THOSE ARE ONLY $10.50
APIECE ANOTHER 40 SO WE
ARE 140 AND NOW LET'S
LOOK AT THAT RIGHT THERE
AND THE KENNEDY HALF
DOLLAR IS $45.50 FOR
THAT COIN AND $20 FOR
THE SACAJAWEA GOLDEN
DOLLAR AND THE PENNY IS
$17.50 AND THOSE ARE
$8.75, SO WE ARE WE OVER
$200 FOR THE 2008 SET.
WE ARE $899 FOR ALL 50
YEARS, AND THE LAST TWO
YEARS ARE ABOUT 4 1/4.
THE LAST TWO YEARS, 2008
AND TALKING ABOUT BUYING
LIKE A COIN YEAR AND HOW
ARE WE DOING FOR
QUANTITIES?
QUANTITIES? >> Host: WHEN I SAID
THERE WAS A DAY BACK IN
THE DAY AS WE SAID IN
THE DAY HE WOULD DO
THESE IN A REGULAR
BASIS.
BASIS.
BASIS. NOW I AM LUCKY IF I HAVE
ONE SHOW YEAR BECAUSE
OTHER PEOPLE WORK WITH
HIM AND WE LOVE TO WORK
WITH HIM BECAUSE WE
LEARN A LOT AND MAYBE
ONE SHARE A YEAR I GET
WITH YOU WHERE I GET TO
DO THE SETS.
THERE ARE 12 MONTH DIP
FINANCING SO IF YOU HAVE
AN HSN CARD YOU HAVE AND
APPLY BY BUT REGARDLESS
IF YOU HAVE ONE IT IS
$74.99.
$74.99.
$74.99. NOW, YOU HAVE SEEN US DO
THIS THROUGHOUT THE
SHOW.
SHOW.
SHOW. YOU
SHOW. YOU HAVE SEEN QUANTITY
LEFT AND QUANTITY LEFT
IS NOT CONSIDERED THE
METHOD OR MANNER OF HOW
MANY PEOPLE JOIN US IN
THE VARIOUS FORMS OF
ORDERING.
ORDERING.
ORDERING. ON THIS, IF THERE ARE
ANY REMAINING AFTER THE
SHOW I WOULD BE
SURPRISED BECAUSE PEOPLE
SHOP AFTER THE FACT.
>> Guest: I HAVE ONE 13
THIS IS CRITICAL.
THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF
HERE.
I
I JUST
I JUST DID A LOT OF MATH AND I AM ABOUT TO DO A
LOT MORE MATH.
I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU A
WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF.
DON'T WAIT TOO LONG.
I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE
113 BUT THE LAST EIGHT
OR 10 MINUTES THEY TEND
TO GO. IF YOU WAIT ANY
MUCH MORE THAN THAT, I
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY
TIMES PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN
COMPLETELY SHUT OUT.
THE FIRST TIME I SOLD IT
THIS YEAR AND I HAVE NOT
SOLD IT SINCE WE HAD IT
MAY BE SEPTEMBER OR
AUGUST SMEWHERE IN
THERE AND I HAVE LIKE
150 SETS ARE DOWN TO
113.
113.
113. >>
113. >> Host: I JUST HAVE TO
SAY THERE IS A 30 DAY
RETURN POLICY.
RETURN POLICY. IF YOU GET IT HOME AND
YOU CAN WATCH AND LISTEN
AND LEARN AND RESEARCH
AND GET THE CATALOGS BUT
THE WHOLE POINT IS I
DON'T KNOW WHEN WE WILL
BE ABLE TO GET ANOTHER
PROOF SET OF THIS
MAGNITUDE WHETHER YOU
ARE SHOPPING COIN BY
COIN OR YOU SPLIT UP THE
SET OR BY LIKE A COIN
COLLECTOR, BUT YOU DO
HAVE THE COMFORT OF
KNOWING YOU GET THE 30
DAY RETURN POLICY AND IF
FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU
SAY NOW THIS IS NOT MY
CUP OF TEA BUT THE WHOLE
POINT WAS, THESE ARE THE
ONES WHERE YOU HAVE TO
TAKE ACTIONS SOONER
RATHER THAN LATER.
>> Guest: NOW AS WE
CONTINUE OUR ARITHMETIC,
LIKE I SAID, THE LAST
TWO YEARS AND YET 50
YEARS, THE LAST TWO
YEARS ABOUT $425 A LET'S
LOOK AT THE FIRST FIVE
YEARS.
YEARS.
YEARS. BY
YEARS. BY THE WAY, THE LAST
FIVE YEARS THE UNITED
STATES GOVERNMENT MADE
PROOF SETS AT
PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA. THE LAST FIVE YEARS THEY
MADE THIS DIAMOND
QUARTER AND HALF-DOLLAR
AND SILVER.'S YOU HAVE A
1960, 6162 AND 63 AND 64
AND A NATIONALLY
ADVERTISED CATALOG THE
HALF DOLLARS OR $65
APIECE AND THE QUARTERS
OR $30 APIECE WHICH IS
95 AND THE DIMES ARE $20
APIECE.
APIECE.
APIECE. SO NOW WE HAVE OVER $500
AND WE HAVE OVER 500
HERE FOR THE FIRST FIVE
YEARS AND OVER 400 HERE
FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS
SO FOR THE SEVEN YEARS
YOU ARE OVER $899.
I WILL TAKE THIS AND WE
ARE FEWERTHAN 100.
I WANT TO DO THIS.
THIS IS ONE OF MY
FAVORITES.
FAVORITES. >> Host: WHAT WILL BE
DUE IF THIS SELLS
UTTERLY?
UTTERLY?
UTTERLY? I WILL LET THEM FIGURE
IT OUT.
IT OUT.
IT OUT. THAT IS ABOVE MY PAY
GRADE AS THEY SAY SO YOU
LOOK AT THIS AND THINK
IT LOOKS OKAY.
>> Guest: THAT IS WHAT A
1963 PROOF WOULD HAVE
AND THAT IS WHY IT IS
$65.
$65.
$65. THAT
$65. THAT IS WHAT EVERY
SINGLE COIN IN EVERY
SINGLE SET LOOKS LIKE IF
YOU GET OUT OF THE
PACKAGING.
PACKAGING. >> Host: THAT IS ALMOST
A FLEX PAY IF YOU DO THE
12 MONTH DIP.
THAT ONE COIN.
>> Guest: THEY HAVE DONE
THIS DIFFERENTLY OVER
THE YEARS AND THIS IS
ONE OF MY FAVORITE
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
THE GOVERNMENT DID AND I
LOVE THE LITTLE
ENVELOPES.
ENVELOPES. SO ACTUALLY THEY JUST
TYPE YOUR NAME ON THIS
AND SEND IT TO YOU.
AND I LOVE THE RETURN
ADDRESS.
ADDRESS.
ADDRESS. JUST SEND IT BACK TO THE
BIG BUILDING WITH ALL
THE MONEY AND ANYBODY
KNOWS THAT AND THEY PUT
THIS WHAT WE CALL BUCK
SLIP IN HERE.
AND SO IT IS RIGHT HERE.
SOONER OR LATER, YOUR
PROOF COINS MAY SHOW
EVIDENCE OF OXIDATION.
WE CAREFULLY HAVE CHOSEN
THE METHODS OF PACKAGING
BECAUSE WE HOPE THIS
WILL DELAY THIS
POSSIBILITY AND NONE OF
YEARS WILL AND PLEASE
DON'T ASK US TO MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS OR
ADJUSTMENTS OR EXCHANGES.
EXCHANGES. THEY HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY
INSPECTED.
INSPECTED. IF THERE SHOULD APPEAR
AND SAME TO YOU IDIOT
COIN COLLECTOR A DEFECT
OR SCRATCH ON A COIN, IT
IS NO DOUBT A CREASE IN
THE CELLOPHANE.
THE CELLOPHANE. IF YOU THINK THERE IS A
SCRATCH OR CREASE I AM
ASSUMING YOU ARE CORRECT
BUT WE HAND SELECT THESE
AHEAD OF TIME AND THIS
IS CUSTOMER SERVICE 1960
AND WE TELL YOU THIS TO
SAVE US BOTH UNNECESSARY
CORRESPONDENCE.
CORRESPONDENCE. SERIOUSLY.
SERIOUSLY. SO IF IT MAY SEEM TO YOU
THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU
ARE DOING, YOU CAN SEND
IT BACK, IT IS OKAY.
SOMEHOW, I DON'T KNOW, I
CAN'T IMAGINE IT GETTING
THROUGH THE QUALITY OF
SERVICE PROCESS BUT AT
THE END OF THE DAY THE
FIRST FIVE YEARS IN LAST
TWO YEARS WAY OVER THAT

LAST TIME YOU SAW
SOMEONE DO SOMETHING
LIKE THIS AND YOU KNOW

>> Guest: YOU KNOW WHY?
PEOPLE BUY THEM AND KEEP
THEM AND COLLECT THEM
AND THEY LAST MADE THIS
IN 1998 AND THE LAST ONE
THEY MADE HERE WAS 1997.
COIN DEALERS OPEN THEM
UP ALL THE TIME.
I TAKE ALL OF THE
QUARTERS FROM 1999
THROUGH 2009 AND I BUST
THEM OUT OF THESE
PACKAGES AND PUT THEM IN
A RED HOOK PRESENTATION
BOX AND WE SELDOM FOR
$449.

HEARTS AS YOU CAN
POSSIBLY BELIEVE.
POSSIBLY BELIEVE. AND IT REMAINS.
HE HAS PAST 40 YEARS

TOGETHER, THEY TALK
ABOUT THAT AND GOING

CARDBOARD BOX THAT IS 50
YEARS OLD.
YEARS OLD. ALL OF THE COINS COME IN
THE ORIGINAL BOXES WITH
THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING
AS WELL AND KEEP IN MIND
ONE OTHER THING,
STARTING IN 1968 WHICH
IS THE SET RIGHT HERE,
THEY MOVED THE PROOF
MAKING CAPACITY FROM
PHILADELPHIA TO SAN
FRANCISCO AND THERE IS
NEVER BEEN A SAN
FRANCISCO MINTED KENNEDY
HALF-DOLLAR INTENDED FOR
CIRCULATION.
CIRCULATION. THE ONLY WAY TO GET SAN
FRANCISCO MINTED KENNEDY
HALF DOLLARS IS OUT OF
THE GOVERNMENT ISSUE
