Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 6:33 pm I was at the local Pawn Shop looking for coins (its a coin shop too) and they had a glass cabinet that was labeled "Everything in here is $10.00". I saw the 1970 UNC Mint Set and remembered reading that one of the coins in it was a key date (1970D Half was not circulated only 2,000,000 minted). I picked it up the set for $10 bucks. Think I did good? I also got a full book from 1941-75 Cents and most of them are MS for $10.00 Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15398 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 7:02 pm You did very good ... be sure as well to check for the 1970-S small date LMC. I picked one up a while ago at a show for about $12 ... then sent the set to Egypt for our CCF friend Amr to complete his Kennedy set.

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 12:25 pm Also they had many other sets in the "$10 Cabinet"....most are from the 90's and 80's...but a few mid 70's. I have never collected mint sets before...any I should look for and grab up for $10? Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 1:13 pm The 1987 sets are mint set only for the half dollars,the 1986 set was a low mintage and was considered a key set for a long time. Probably anything after 95 might be good. Report this Post to the Staff
