Since this is a complete set I think that you shoujld go ahead and buy it. A fair pricec to offer would be probably anywhere from $200.00 to maybe $250.00

I have no idea what it is worth but they sure do look very nice from here. Looks to be a really nice BU set with little to no toning, a big plus as far as I'm concerned.  |

Fair Price to offer? Apparently, melt. I sold a set recently on ebay including BU keys and semi-keys and that's what I got. I thought the keys and semi-keys would bump it up at least a little over spot, but it didn't. |

Scooby, that sux! I see most sets seem to be close to spot on ebay. I get scared of the 'blast white' look of some of the sets. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWAX:ITIs there any chance a nice BU set is worth more then melt? The one I pictured in the OP seems to have some age to it and looks like it was housed in the folder for some time. Would that even matter  |

i have been building a BU/MS set and have been buying each coin individually for an avg of $3. so, $3x60 coins = $150.. personally, I wouldnt offer more than $175, $200 seems excessive to me since all of these are still fairly common and still about melt. if you inspect each coin thoroughly, you may find some MS+65 but doubtful.

I agree with SDcoinguy .. in the $175 range. I have seen them priced at coin shows in that range

Since this is in a cardboard type material, You might want to ask to see the reverses of the coins. The old cardboard ones ruined my coins even though I thought they were safely stored. Somehow there must have been some residual moisture in some of them when they were wrapped in plastic and stored away. I ended up with coins with no luster on the REV

I bought a nearly complete set of circulated mercs awhile back in an old set of Dansco folders and while the obverses weren't terrible, the reverses were completely black. Of course I bought them under melt when melt was a third of what it is now so I can't complain :) |

I still stand by the $175 ..
FYI ...only 48 of the coins are silver.
I would not pay $3 for each of the other 12.

I would focus on the few keys and price them out. Then add melt for the rest and a buck or so for the clads.

Thanks everyone! I blew it and missed the action close. My son's christening was yesterday and it didn't cross my mind at all. It went for $175.00. I guess I'll have to wait for the next one.
