I looked online, and the company that originally sold this mail-order set priced each coin at almost $50! I paid 20% over melt value for the complete set. The coins are beautiful, and I'm happy!

I have seen the slabs .... never seen the case.

Nice looking set

I too am curious what the years are.
Rest in Peace

In short, every S mint silver proof available from 1964-2015 is included in the set; 25, 90%, and 4, 40% JFKs...oh, and 2, 1983 gold-plated JFKs worth $0.50 each

If CCF rules allow it, then I'll post a link to the mail-order vendor website...jbuck?

The case alone looks like it would be worth bucks. Very neat set.

The downside to the case is the bulk...Far too large to fit in my safe.

Here is the only other photo I have handy

I've already tucked the set away, so getting more photos would be a bit of a pain in the rear for me, sorry!

I loved JFK halves as a kid, and I think I may love them more all these decades later!

Wow for 20% over spot price that is an amazing deal. Too bad for the local person selling it though, especially at $45 per coin! Great find!

The box is worth at least the 20% over you paid.

And those coins look nice.

Sorry for the original victim who overpaid for the set.

Yeah... if my math is correct that's over $1,500 for the set, retail. Yikes.
