Florida under $6?Ha Ha the face value of the coins are 6 dollars. Come on? They are on e-bay for $30+shipping. And I paid less then half of that. Oh I suppose you can buy a $2 bill for a dollar.LOL  Edited by coindexter

He's not kidding, at times you can actually buy coins for LESS than face value. I used to buy early 70's mint sets for less than face. My estimate of the value of your set is about $8 or $9. If I was buying this set as a dealer I wouldn't allow more than $6 on it and I would probably advise spending them. $30+shipping is ridiculous for this set.

OK you let me know where I can purchase them. So as a forum friend of yours you wont let me waste anymore of my money buying these expansive coins. Please give me a store,web address,phone number of these stores that are selling coins for face value. Shoot I might even buy you a coin or two for helping me. Thanks Coindexter

Don't mean to be a Debby Downer, but...
I just picked up
4 x 1979 P&D mint sets for $4.50 each - Face value $3.82
4 x 1980 P&D mint sets for $5 each Face value $4.82
Admittedly, these sets don't have the 79S... but... the other 5 are all in there uncirculated...

If you rode the Light Rail system in Denver two trips everyday, for one month, buying each ticket from the automated ticket dispensers with a $20 bill (to maximize your dollar coins received in change), your odds of collecting this six-coin set from your change (plus the 1999's) would be excellent! You'd also have enough tarnished year-2000 Sacagewea's to wash your car for a year... SBA's still account for about one-fourth of the Dollar Coin change dispensed by the Denver Light Rail automated ticket dispensers (based on the change I've received in 2008). Update: The eight Dollar Coins I received in change from riding the Light Rail (today, Oct. 11, 2008): Two SBA's = 1979-P, 1999-D Two Sac's 2000-D, 2000-P, Four Pres. (all D) 2 Wash, 1 Jeff, 1 Monroe. These were dispensed all at once! Edited by DNA

That set would fetch $30 on ebay? I really need to talk to my boss about this. We have one just lying on the counter at work and I'll bet he paid maybe $7 for it. A good deal for you  but a lot of clutter we could be getting rid of at work. |
