Probably would need to see pictures of the whole set to give accurate value instead of just single coin pics.

 if you haven't already been welcomed. I'd expect a "regular" 1980 proof set to be worth about $5. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so you might be able to get a little more for this if the buyer found it attractive. Personally, when I see this kind of toning on a proof set, I get concerned about how it might tone in the future. Haze in the fields (which is still just early toning) can also be a detraction on proof coins. The good news (at least the way I look at it when I have proof coins like this), is that they are sort of a low cost experiment. Over time, maybe the tone continues to develop and becomes even more beautiful. |

captaincoffee I will probably keep it in an airtight container so hopefully, nothing will happen to it.

If you are going to sell then maybe single coin sales might actually be better....  If you're going to keep them then hopefully that toning won't continue to progress and start changing to a black color. Edited by Rothery

Those are the beginning of some stunning toners. Personally, I'd pay a premium just for the nickel as the shades of blue/violet make them pop. If you want to slow the toning run a light bead of clear silicone around the edge.

Some collectors love toning, others don't--with a passion. If your set was up for bid on ebay and a couple of devout toner collectors saw it, they may be willing to part with $15-$25 to snag it. |
