1937 proof set unboxing with a commentary from Howard Ruff on coins, and silver stacking

I unbox a very nice 1937 proof set with a mintage figure of only 5,500. Also a quick flashback commentary by Howard Ruff talking about precious metals and his legacy.

love you vids, your voice is so relaxing. Thanks for all you do for all of us coin collectors.

[@Dr.G]

Thanks for the comment.

[@ss-mp8zu]

please do a video of your full collection sir

Wow this is one of THE best tv guessing games ever made

I like your vodeos but i always get jealous of your beautiful coins.

[@Dr.G]

Thanks buddy, but stay in school, go to college and one day you'll have twice as many coins as I do. I can't wait to one day watch super kid unbox some cool stuff. :)

[@youKnowWho3311]

The Nickel is most beautiful to me. Love that tone. Great coins Doc.

[@Dr.G]

Thanks my man. I love that nickel as well. great fields. :)

[@Dr.G]

I agree, one of my favorite pieces. Just beautiful. :)

[@979thomas]

I really appreciate that you unboxed the coins and unboxed the graded coins in the same video. More KZbinrs could learn from you :)

[@Dr.G]

Thanks. Thorough the magic of KZbin... :).

[@dukeofhaas]

Bravo! We love the fact that you and your viewer become aware of the coin grade at the same moment. This adds drama and excitement to your films.

[@Dr.G]

Thanks Duke. I appreciate it. :)

[@chrisrock4428]

New to your channel. Glad to be here. My father passed 6 years ago today and left me his coins. I have yet to even see what's there but I'm trying to learn so I know what I'm looking at. He was the coin collector, I was into comic books, ball cards and pocket knives so I am a collector as well

[@tomfeldbruegge8744]

Congrats, nice stuff. I use to watch the Ruff House all the time! Keep the great video's coming. Thanks.

[@Dr.G]

Oh, that is so cool. I would have liked to have heard him. I was off doing other stuff. :( Thanks for the comment.

[@vaultkeeper9276]

Fantastic results. Love the story behind the set and really enjoyed flashback portion. A crash is always around the corner. That video also showed me I suck grading proofs lol thanks again and all the best!

[@Dr.G]

hahahah, you and me both. I have no experience with those proof halves (or much of anything numismatic) lol, so that's exactly why I like to have a professional check my stuff out. Definitely worth it to me, I learn a lot, and it's fun as well. thanks again, take care.

[@BigLorry]

Wow! Spectacular! Great that you got the grades (and that the half was real!!!).

[@Dr.G]

hahaha. Yea, shows what I know. The rest of the '37 proof half production must not have looked too good. I haven't really seen another one.

[@SuperBruce135]

Awesome, well done on this set!!

[@Dr.G]

This is my favorite set. I purchased it raw and at a time when I was just beginning to collect. It turned out to be a fantastic set, and I have great memories buying it. Thanks Bruce.

[@Dr.G]

haha, thanks, I have a good time.

[@louissicajr]

Very nice especially that 50c and 5c. Very tough to get 1937 proofs in such high grades because several were left in the original box with packages stapled together for waaaaay too long

[@Dr.G]

Thanks Louis, I wish I had that original 1937 packaging. I've heard they exist, but I've never actually seen one. Very rare. But that '37 proof set is pretty much at the top of my favorites list. I got it at the beginning of my "Numismatic Journey", and it was total luck. :) Beautiful coins. That really got the ball rolling for me. Thanks for the comments my friend.

[@westonmj14]

Wow I love these videos and great coins

[@TheAvenstar]

I just watched this again because I love looking at beautiful coins and these are gorgeous! I wish I could change my mind about the '37 Indian but I can't. I know I miss the obvious for no reason sometimes but I am stymied on this one! Will someone -- ANYONE! -- please tell me what is dictating the grade of 67 on this gem nickel?! If you have to start at 70 and deduct from there for imperfections, what imperfection is knocking this coin down? I fail to see it -- will someone kindly point it out to me? I'm waiting patiently.

[@clearsailing7993]

I agree with you. The coin looks perfect to me. I hope those graders look that good when they are 85 years old.

[@donaldinnewmexico]

HI DOC. NEAT SET. I HAVE A 1937 PROOF SET. ALL IN PR65 AND THE CENT IN 65R. I ALSO HAVE A 37 PR64 WALKER THAT LOOKS WEAKLY STRUCK, ESPECIALLY NOTICABLE ON THE RAYS. YOU GOT A GREAT GRADES ON YOUR RAW SET COINS. THAT 67 BUFFALO IS THE PIECE OF CAKE. *TYU*

[@Dr.G]

Awesome bud. Yeah the proof dies they used were polished pretty bad sometimes, so often the details were partially removed. It's not weakly struck, they just used a refurbished die. Still cool. 👍

[@donaldinnewmexico]

@@Dr.G MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. NOT ONLY STILL COOL, STILL VERY NICE LOOKING. I ALSO FEEL IT WAS DOWNGRADED BECAUSE OF THE WEAKNESS. IT LOOKS LIKE A 65.

[@FrankySilverFace]

That buffalo nickel is amazing. I have a 1937 ddo struck 3 times. Amazing in its own right.

[@susanpayne6107]

Awesome set! Do you do this as a hobby or for a living? Your videos are so informative! Now I know who Howard Ruff is. You must have brilliant collection of coins! Thanks for the time you put into making these videos!

[@Dr.G]

Susan, I love your avatar. I inherited a collection not long ago and it really sparked an interest. I love to learn new things, and I find the history associated with coins fascinating. It's absolutely just a hobby for me, and I have no intention of selling anything for a profit. I make my living with my hands, and live frugally. It makes the hobby so much more enjoyable not to have to worry about what kind of return I'll get. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate the kind words.

[@susanpayne6107]

Dr. G I love the history as well! Thanks for responding.

As always - thank you for amazing video. Not only I enjoyed your coins, but also learned about Howard Ruff. I will buy and read his book for sure. I just finished Mike Maloney's book about precious metals, very informative as well.

You're welcome buddy. Howard Ruff was an interesting character. Nice to see a new video from you. :)

This 1937 proof set is my favorite numismatic piece. (so far) :) From the way I found it, to the condition, to the grading process. It was just a lot of fun, and I love it. I'm eventually going to get the 1936 set, if I don't go broke first. LOL

I was normally a half dollar collector kinda girl! Buuut you've peeked my interest into these proof sets! I have 3 in my collection. ANother great vid :)

[@Dr.G]

Oh yeah, the proof sets are really cool. They are made with care and you get see all the denominations in one handy package (if it’s in a capital holder). And BTW I love vintage capital holders. Most years are reasonably priced. Birth year sets are also great gifts. Look for cameo coins when selecting sets. It’s all fun girl :) thanks for the comment.

[@IrisFinch1930]

Nice proof set and congrats on the amazing grades!

[@Dr.G]

Thanks, I was pretty happy. And surprised. lol

[@dalecain1158]

This is like a history lesson and Christmas all rolled into one. The history of the coins adds so much to the set. I have a question: do you have to remove the coins from the original holder before submitting them to be graded?

[@Dr.G]

Thanks bud, who doesn't love Christmas. LOL. Yes, All the coins are put into 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 plastic flips for grading. All raw coins that is. If you buy a modern coin that is in an airtight you can submit it in the original holder and they will return the plastic holder along with your slabbed coin. Also it's possible to send a slabbed coin for cross over or regrading with out breaking it out of the original slab. If it crosses or upgrades they will break it out and reholder it. If not they will send you back the coin in its original holder.

[@dalecain1158]

Dr. G thanks Dr. G for the info! Keep those wonderful videos coming. I know they take up a lot of your time but I just love them!

[@Dr.G]

Working on the next one for a few hours today Dale. Lots to learn and sift through. Plus I end up getting sidetracked on interesting threads that come along while learning about these crazy coins. It's work and fun. But it sure takes a lot of hours. Thanks for commenting my friend.

[@dalecain1158]

Dr. G I know it takes time to do the videos, but yours are so good and informative. Keep them coming!

[@heebs6167]

Just wanna ask where do you get these old proof sets from? And those are some great coins

[@Dr.G]

I got that 1937 proof set from Ebay, but I also get coins from online auctions, Heritage, Great collections. Sometimes from private parties, but usually people wanting to sell their coins don't have very good stuff. But I always keep my eyes open. 😊

[@johnlawrence4975]

The half didn’t look that great in the capital holder, but looked much better in the slab. Very nice set. Congratulations.

John Hartley One of my favorite coins. The fields just look liquid. Really cool coin.

[@Wahbooz]

I was a bit surprised by the Walker grade, but congratulations.

[@Dr.G]

Initially I was surprised as well, but after further examination, and comparison with many other proof 37's this one is really nice. Beautiful light blue halo around the perimeter, and super clean fields. The die has been polished much more than I would like, but I guess you can't have everything.

[@ValueHunter7947]

superb!

[@Dr.G]

Thanks buddy.

[@abuobaidah2531]

awesome proof set

[@troodon1096]

The only think I can think of is that PCGS is a bit forgiving on coins known to have relatively weak strikes. Still, that is a beautiful coin regardless. So is the nickel.

[@Dr.G]

I guess the die used for this '37 half had been pretty badly polished and much of the design was sanded off. Too bad, but I really love this set. One of my favorite pieces. Thanks for the comments my friend.

[@knightrider693]

Wow, what a beautiful half dollar. What does a PR67 retail for? Just curious.

[@Dr.G]

Very cool. He was interesting. Thanks for watching.

[@clearsailing7993]

Would the set be worth more if they were put back in the original holder so they would all be together?

[@Dr.G]

If I had the original packaging from the mint It would definitely have some more value, but the capital holder that I got if from wasn't the original mint holder anyway. But I do like the original 60's capital holder better than the PCGS slabs. Thanks for the comment.

[@TheAvenstar]

Glad you're happy with the grades. I would not have been -- I thought they all deserved at least a full grade higher despite the weak strikes on some. And I thought the Buffalo could bring a 70. Of course, I know they'd never give it a 70 even if every grader in the world and every computer said it was a 70 -- just because there haven't been any 70's and only two 69's up til now. Wouldn't you like to know what brought that coin down to a 67? I sure would. Or maybe you saw something wrong that I didn't. One thing sure -- you've got a great attitude.

[@Dr.G]

hahahah. Love the play by play. My favorite set. I love the half. The color is aqua, and all is well except the boneheads at the mint polished half the sun rays off the die. Oh well... As you said the Indian is just amazing, I don't see a thing wrong either. Beautiful coin. I'll never forget how I got that set and how excited I was. That set really pushed me over the top into numismatics. If I had to sell everything I own that would be the last piece to go. Great memories. I vote for 70 as well. LOL

[@Perromedico]

Awesome proof set!!👍👍👍👍

[@ktcat9419]

Dr. G: 67! Me: Why did you want a lower grade?

[@THEBULK1023]

good job

[@Dr.G]

Thanks Tim. :)

[@guigal2]

The nickel is really worth more than the half dollar, even though they're the same grade?

[@Dr.G]

Yea, the production figures of the Half and Nickel are about the same, I guess many nickels were of lower quality or didn't age as well, so the higher grade examples are rare.

[@guigal2]

That makes sense. It's also true that in some ways I'd be more interested in a proof nickel from this year than a proof half dollar. How were these originally packaged? I would guess it wasn't that cellophane packaging or whatever that they used in the '50s and '60s.

[@Dr.G]

This was the last year of the buffalo proof nickel, which is kind of cool. The coins were originally packaged individually in cellophane sleeves, stapled together and wrapped in tissue. The original packaging is extremely rare.

[@jeffw1267]

I'm surprised that the item wasn't sent Registered Mail. It's valuable enough.

[@Dr.G]

I did have to sign for it, and the seller charged me for insurance so I'm not sure if you call it Registered, but I think it was pretty safe. thanks for watching.

It has a great light blue tone that is just fantastic. And the fields are flawless. One of my favorite pieces. And the penny is also a beauty. Thanks for the comment.

My favorite coin. True collectors never sell. 😀 You keep the DMPL, and I'll keep my PR67. LOL It could be graded PR110 and I'd never sell. Eventually I'll break it out of the PCGS holder and mount it in a custom made holder with the other coins from the set. By now you probably can guess that I don't care much about the grade or the monetary value. I just love coins, and history. Thanks for the comment. Ken. 👍

[@michael61985]

When comes to set ill only buy them unless there in there OGP

[@troodon1096]

Pre-1968 proof sets were just in cellophane packaging, which don't protect the coins well at all and could even damage them if left in too long. You don't really want the original packaging for any proof sets before 1968. Even back in the 50's and 60's before TPGs were even a thing, people would carefully take them out of the packaging and put them in hard plastic holders to protect them better, especially those made by Capitol.

[@anthonymckinney885]
