Word. I think what I'll do is put a gold-plated in the hole with a callout that says "go look in the safe". Oh wait, what hole?  |

Thanks, chettieyy! While not particularly hard to find, people seem to want a lot of money (relatively) for the 73S Ag Proof. "Key date" or something silly.  |

Just be glad you were not filling this set in the 1980s.  |

I will need to dig out some old issues of Coins, COINage, or Coin Prices (or perhaps someone can find something sooner), but prices in the 1980s were crazy high. I seem to recall the 73-S 40% proof hovering around $100~$150 at one point.

Now you have given me the motivation to stop being lazy and just buy it finally so I can finish and admire the completed set myself.. Like you said its not particularly hard to find, I guess my problem is everytime I go to local LCS's I drool over other coins and buy those instead of paying attention to my list and what I am supposed to be buying.. Is it me or does anyone else have this problem?  Quote:

Sweet! This would definitely be a more expensive set to put together back in 1984 with those prices!
Though I'm a bit confused with the listings:
71S Silver, 72S Silver, and 76S Silver have prices under MS-60 (for BU / blue I assume) and under PRF-65 (for proof / brown I assume).
73S Silver and 74S Silver only have a price under PRF-60.
In that guide where would one find the price for 73S & 74S BU Silver Ikes?
It's also missing 71S, 72S
Not that it really matters given the age of this guide, just wondering.

Yeah, I noticed that the 1973-S and 1974-S 40% business strike were missing. Must be a misprint? Remember, no CuNi clad version of 1971-S and 1972-S proofs, only 40% proofs those years.  |

Oh, it is a misprint. Note the 1973-S and 1974-S CuNi clad business strikes!  I knew something had to be shifted. I counted 32 prices, so if two were missing they were in the wrong spot! Although, the shifted prices seem a bit low. |
