Whoa.. Anyone Know The Value Of 1982 & 1983 Mint Sets?

Thanks CladKing. It is true they are not official but they are indeed hard to come by and would be the perfect addition to a collectors mint set collection. I guess i'll throw em on auction and see how they go. I can't find a good BIN price I feel comfortable with

I can take pictures of just the quarters if you want Clad King. For some reason my posts keep getting deleted....

dmott88, I sent you a message offering to buy your sets and never heard back. I can tell you that I bought both 82 and 83 sets last week for $40. The 83 set came with an uncirculated 1992 Columbus half in gov't packaging. Hope this helps you with valuation.

Those sets are definitely collectible, and worth quite a bit over face value, since there weren't as many BU coins saved in those years.

I've read that the US Mint didn't mint any BU sets those 2 years to save money. They thought they were losing money on them.

The US Mint has made souvenir sets in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I couldn't find a date range on them on when they started and when they stopped, but I remember buying a P&D souvenir set in 1978, when I was there and I still have it. I think it cost $6 for both P&D sets back then. Each mint sold a separate set, so you had to buy one of each, if you wanted both mints.

Plus a few dealers made their own BU sets those 2 years.

Here is some good info and differences on them:
