I have a bunch of inherited US mint products but I don't know what was paid for them. I know there are references for modern proof and uncirculated sets in the Mega Red Book, but... Is there a reference for the original mint selling price for things like SBA souvenir sets and other mint products not listed in the Mega Red?

Krause lists many of these sets with the Issue price. However for the SBA sets they only list the value. You probably can find the Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins at your library. Edited by joewobblie

I have been looking for the same information regarding issue price of the 1986-1995 two-coin proof and uncirculated commemorative coin sets. I have several of these, and ended up going with the single coin issue price and adding them together.

I have the 46th edition of Krause. It does not list an issue price for the souvenir sets. Those are the only mint sets with no issue price listed.

Have you tried the guides here: https://moderncommemoratives.com/Using the "Series by Date" section will get one to profiles of USM issues that include info on design, specifications, and initial offering prices. I used this site as a resource when I was cataloguing the USM products I inherited and subsequent modern commems I've added to my collection. Hope this helps. |

The earliest they cover is 1982. The SBA sets I have are 1979 and 1980. Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here)See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) |

The good news is that - unless the estate is large enough to have to pay estate taxes (and if it were, you could afford to hire a professional) - you don't need the original price. There is an automatic step-up and your basis is the value as of the date of the death.

I am aware of that, but it is always good information to know what was paid for something.
Technically, something could be worth LESS than what was paid for it. This is frequently the case for many mint issued products, especially those not containing gold or silver.

I also record my purchase prices in my spreadsheets. It certainly satisfies future curiosity.
