Description: 1964 Silver Proof Set. Unopened Envelope. This proof set was the end and the beginning of the Proof Era. End because it was the last of the Proofs for three years, and the last of the plain proofs in plain packaging. The Mint got the idea--gradually over the next many years, that Proof Sets were good merchandise, and the packaging got more and more elaborate until the current era, with multiple lenses displaying multiple series, in fancy boxes. But in 1964 it was plain plastic with all of five circulating coins, three of which were silver. The CoA (included) is all about how you should not send the set back for defects, because they are probably creases in the packaging! 1964 was the last of the silver coins minted for circulation of course. The catalog price of Proof Sets took a big dive after 1964, and was many years away from resuming the high value of the early sets. Mintage on the 1964 issue was 3,950,762. After the i964 issue, The Mint put out three years of SMS coins (Special Mint Sets) which were shiny and carefully struck but not quite Proof quality, and then in 1968 resumed true Proof strikes, until the very high art of present-day proofs. This offering has never been opened. Everything is Mint fresh for you. The photo is from an opened envelope, and is not the specimen that you will receive. Note – eBay may or may not add a sales tax depending on each state’s requirements. We do not collect it. Also, we list our items for mostly sales in the U.S. The postage noted is for U.S. sales only. If you are not in the U.S., please be advised that eBay will add a separate shipping charge for their overseas shipping from Erlanger, KY. Again, we have no control over that amount. Thank You. Grading: All grading is our best opinion based on the official ANA Grading Standards for coins, Friedberg or Cuhaj for currency and Scotts for stamps. Please examine the photos closely to form your own opinion as to grade and bid based on that. We acknowledge that grading is semi-subjective and that a difference of opinions can occur even among experts. If you decide to certify an item and it does not meet your grade expectation, that is a cost born by the buyer and is not a reason to return the item. This statement is not applicable if the item is already certified by a professional certification service like NGC, PMG or PCGS. Authenticity: We stand by the authenticity of every item we sell. We verify the provenance of our inventory prior to purchasing. We do not take any material we believe has been altered or we believe are forgeries. We refuse the material or destroy it if it is part of a large lot. If any coin, stamp or piece of currency we have sold proves to be a forgery or altered in any way, we will gladly refund your money. Payment: Payment is expected within 4 days of close of auction. If this time period is not met contact must be made to us as to the date payment will be made. EBay will automatically open an “Unpaid Item Case” if payment is not made by the end of 4 days. We use eBay Managed Pay services for payment. Shipping: If this item is designated for international sales, we will ship the item to Erlanger, KY and eBay will be responsible for shipping to the destination outside the U.S. eBay charges for shipping from Kentucky to the final destination. Those charges are totally out of our control. To receive combined shipping on multiple items won, you must pay for all items with one payment. If you have purchased multiple items and are ready to pay send us a final invoice request so that we can combine the shipping to the required amount. We send out invoices within 1 business day after the auction is completed. A business day is defined as Monday through Friday unless it is a holiday commonly recognized in the U.S. Shipping will be made within 1 business day of payment receipt. NOTE to our non-U.S. customers: International First Class Mail through the USPS may take up to 3 weeks before you receive the item(s). Please wait 20 days before contacting us. Shipping will be via USPS first class mail unless otherwise stipulated. This usually takes 3-5 days unless the item is shipped out of the country. Should you win multiple auctions, or plan on bidding across several days, please notify us so that we can combine items won into a single shipment. Terms of Sale Our return policy is simple. You are guaranteed to be satisfied. If you, as the buyer, are unhappy with your purchase, you will have 14 days in which to return it, no questions asked. The only exception to this deals with silver bullion. The price fluctuations in precious metals can sometimes be extreme, both up and down. When we sell bullion, we always sell under spot and let you know when the spot price was applied. If the price goes up, it is in your favor. If the price goes down, it is not a reason to return the bullion coins. Prices fluctuate – that is the precious metals market. We are hopeful that the pictures and descriptions are such that there should be no reason to return an item. If you do wish to return the item for any reason, our return policy applies. If you do return an item, we will refund your payment minus shipping and handling costs upon receipt of the item or replace the item with an agreed upon substitute, again, after receipt of the item. Should we feel that anyone is abusing the return policy such as sending back items repeatedly, it will be to our discretion as to whether to continue selling items to that individual. Service: E&L Coins strives to give 5 STAR service by providing quality coins, currency or stamps at a reasonable price. We state up front what our policies are, shipping rates and shipping frequency. When you give 4 STARS, it may seem like a great score for instance a 4 in Shipping Time means "Quickly", eBay, however, considers this to be a sub-par mark. Their standards require all sellers to maintain a 4.8 rating and above or be penalized with higher fees and more. If you are pleased with a transaction, please respond with all 5 STARS – THANK YOU. We will ALWAYS provide a positive rating to you as the buyer once a payment has been made. We hope you will consider providing positive feedback to us upon receipt of your item. If you are not pleased, let us know via email and we will work to make it a 5 STAR experience. 022723 (37) 24 22 222 051423 (37) 27 111 052223 (37) 25 111 060323 (37) 27 25 222 062223 26 111 062623 27 BiN 092323 26 111 BiN 1123 25 0124 25 BiN 021224 (37) 25 111 042924 26 BiN 060424 26 bin 0624 26 111 0624 27 111 081624 28 111 100724 27 111 BIN 102124 26 BIN 1124 26 BiN 25 BiN
