Last time I looked the Teddy Roosevelt C & C set was selling for slightly more than the Truman and Ike. It would be the only one I don't have..... Just my luck
I bought three of the Theodore Roosevelt Coin and Chronicles Set from the mint and stuck them in a drawer at my parents'home. I tried giving one to my brother for Christmas, but in his opinion, none of the sets had silver medals better than an MS-68 (so he didn't take one:( I had tentatively planned to donate these three to the YN auction at Summer Seminar, but I didn't end up going this year. I had no idea that these sets were worth more than about issue price that I paid. Heck, I assumed that they had probably depreciated in value due to the (at the time at least) lukewarm at best level of sales. Granted mine can't fetch the $150 to $200 per set I see on ebay (since as I mentioned, they probably wouldn't qualify for MS-69 or better). Anyway, the point of my story is that this forum is a great resource for collectors; it sure helps keep me informed.
