captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 01/30/2010 11:52 am I'm wondering how everyone filled their Danscos for these years. Not being near a coin shop or having access to shows I am forced to buy over the Internet. How would you recommend I fulfill my needs for the coins minted in 1982 and 1983. Souvenir Sets which look to run at a large premium. I worry that breaking these sets might result in a loss of value. http://cgi.ebay.com/Complete-Souven...83_W0QQitemZ 330399286483QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item4ced5504d3 None mint produced sets put together by individuals. I worry about the quality of the coins in these sets. http://cgi.ebay.com/1982-Mint-Set-O...-3_W0QQitemZ 130361138468QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item1e5a211d24 Buying the coins individually, one at a time so to speak. This will take a lot of time and possible shipping costs but I will be able to do more quality control. How did you all do it? What would you recommend based on your experience and of course, who has something to sell:) Edited by captainkurt 01/30/2010 12:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I don't plan on selling them I say buy the Souvenir Sets in my opinion Report this Post to the Staff
RPT Pillar of the Community United States 920 Posts	Posted 01/30/2010 6:01 pm The souvenir sets are really expensive. If I bought them I wouldn't open them. The quarters from 83 are the most expensive. I got most of my 82 and 83 coins on ebay. South Park Coins is also pretty reasonable for 82 and 83 BU. You can order by phone or Internet for a flat shipping rate. Check the catalog on their website. http://www.southparkcoins.com/catalog.html Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/30/2010 10:55 pm I purchased a privately made 1982 set complete with all seven cent varieties but I do not have any 1983s yet. Privately made 1982 sets are fairly easy to find because of collector demand for the cent varieties but the 1983s are considerably more elusive. I would not recommend breaking apart a souvenir set to fill album holes because the sets are worth multiples more than the individual coins. Some dealers at larger shows will typically have the individual coins for sale but they will not be cheap either, especially nicely struck coins in MS-64+. Report this Post to the Staff
