understanding mint, proof sets
Hello: was there different sets isssued for the 1970-s. Example some that I own are in hard cases, some in soft(just plastic enclosed). Some say mint while others say proof, just trying to understand. :D

Re: understanding mint, proof sets
The hard case where struck with proof dies and the Kennedy Half is 40% silver with a low mintage. The 70-D is the most sought after.
The cello packs are just mints sets containing coins that where struck with regular or business strike dies. The same type of dies used to strike coins for circulation, and usually these mint sets have coins that will have a lot of contact marks. The Half Dollar in these is also 40% silver.
I hope this is the answer you where asking for.
