I would answer with a resounding yes...and probably more. If you're considering buying these, then snap them up quick. If you're selling, you can get a much better price.

Your set has about $35 worth of silver in it alone.

Yeah, if your buying, I would definetly get them. The quarter sets are AT LEAST $10 a piece (most likely more) and there are more than 5 of them listed there, so you should definetly buy it

My advise to you is, purchase the lot for $50.00. Then sell them individually on ebay. I'm sure you will find buyers for the proofs.

Personally I never buy something that I don't intend on keeping for my collection.......I don't participate in the "quick turnaround" money making adventures.....
If ya have no interest in them.....pursue something that you DO have interest in....
If ya need the money to buy coins you do like.......then there ya go....nuthin' wrong with that........
I personally just don't get the "buzz" from the profit game like others do. My energy and efforts are not limitless, so I reign in my "outings of coin buying" to just specifically enlarge my collection only.
But if you can make some extra money by purchasing this and then reselling it on ebay or wherever......go for it dude !...

It is a good deal. If you flipped them to purchase what you really wanted, then I could not fault you for it. Personally, I would keep the Ikes if I were you!

In your description, it says that the ike is in a blue folder. Does this increase the value of it? Also who graded the Ike at 70?

The "blue folder" (actually an envelope) is the original government packaging for the NIFC 40% Silver Ikes.
