Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 11:55 am I wouldn't bid without flipping through and doing the research. Individual sets generally sell for a couple bucks each on ebay, mainly for the presentation... few if any valuable coins in there. Most will be AU/BU sets of very common coins from the 70s-90s. Caveat - there are apparently some sets that ARE valuable; a quick search shows the 1982 Chinese and some 1970s Soviet coins can be worth big bucks. If you want to get a jump start on an OFEC set, this would be a good buy at maybe $1.50 per set. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 12:00 pm From what I've read there are some issues in this set that can be somewhat rare and more valuable than others, specifically some Chinese and Soviet cards. I'm not sure the specifics but I believe cladking would know more. You may want to ping him. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17909 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 3:11 pm I knew nothing about these sets - I've just Googled them and noticed that the British set was put together with NIFC 5p and 10p coins dated 1985. I wonder if The Royal Mint ran off a few hundred / thousand extra coins especially for the Franklin Mint?
