If it's graded in a slab, HECK YEAH. Is it raw or in OGP? Is that total price including shipping? Just the basic questions you have to ask yourself. I look it at this way...the face value is $1.00, you subtract that from $5.50 and you get $4.50 Is $4.50 worth it to you for a 35 year old coin that they made about 4,000,000 of in Proof. Does it fill a hole for you or is it just a quick interest? I don't normally do SBA coins, BUT, I did pick up a 1999 Proof in OGP a few weeks ago for $7.00 It was worth it to me. You simply have to ask is it worth it to you? |

I'm not a collector of these but there is some minor Cud on the obverse which I would like. ..........at $5.50 its probably close to UNC value. 81 was a low mintage year for SBA1981 P 3,000,000 1981 D 3,250,000 1981 S 3,492,000 Minted at San Francisco (S) |

I wouldn't because pcgs lists the whole set as 6 dollars so go to your local coin shop and get the best one he had and pay six . You could even tell him 5 and he'll probably do it. Then you will have the whole set . Who knows I'd he has a bunch you might pick our a type 2 he missed but seriously $6 for the whole set is better deal

I won a complete 1981 proof set for $7.50. I personally wouldn't go above $2.50 for it.
1981 type II is a whole different ballgame.

The coin shops in my neighborhood are selling the proof sets for 5 to 6 dollars. I would just buy a proof set and break it up, then you get the rest of the coins for free. For the P and D SBAs you can normally by an 81 mint set cheaper.

That is a fair price, if I needed the coin for a set.
At the price I would not worry if I could save
a dollar or two.
