looks to be 1973 72 76 and 1963. The whitmans are not official? Are these collectible or face values, I hope no I don't need more coins   Thanks CCF!  |

The top two items are not official US mint products. The plastic packages with the red and blue stripes are US mint uncirculated coins and the bottom left set is a US mint proof set.

Thanks for fast feedback so nice coins buy no raritys. Good that kennedy in whitman whispers to me looks to have start toning. And those Ikes would be perfect to even out the uneven legs on my wobbly kitchentable.  |

The unofficial sets (top of your photo) may not be in plastic that is safe for long-term storage.
The 1963 set has 90% silver in the dime, quarter, and half dollar and is worth considerably above face value.
The 1972, 1973, and 1976 sets don't carry much of a premium above face.

There is a blue insert in the '66 and '67 SMS's that can be removed and then the sets would look very much like the top two. The sets are easily resealed and many have been opened.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
