I have 4 proof mint sets I just picked up cheap. '68,'69,'76', and '78.
Are there any valuable, key date, or common errors to look for in any of these sets? Would there be anything worth cracking and sending in for submission? Edited by Papadoc75

keep cracking them out. Eventually mine will be rare.

I'd throw it on ebay. Wait, that is the normal response to bills found in circulation  Without pics it would be impossible to tell you if any were worth grading. You would have to wait for those who study the TPG censuses to tell you if there were any conditional rarities in those years which would be the only justification to send any of them in for grading. |

Thanks Jack. I haven't seen anything that would make these coins worth grading yet, but just wondering if there was any known key dates I may have missed.

Well if you bought these sets from a dealer you can be sure that they have been looked at several times for anything worth cracking out to grade. The only question here is how do you collect coins, in original government packaging, albums, TPG holders, or in another form? My bet is that if you crack them out and send them to the TPG of your choice then you will not make much or any profit when they sell. |

They are worth cracking if you want to fill album holes.  |

Good advice. I'll just give them a more detailed look for any errors and won't touch them unless I find a decent one.

Errors are typically worth more in mint packaging so if you find one leave it alone and post it |

Really? I would have figured that a graded DD or maybe CAC'd PS specimen from any of those sets would be worth more than leaving it in its original packaging.

It may be worth more, but the associated cost of slabbing decreases the apparent worth to the finder.

What jbuck said but also alot of error collectors like to see errors that were sealed into mint packaging and will pay a premium for it as is.

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the enlightenment, Cascade. I assumed grading always increases value.
