I'm trying to get a ballpark price on the value of this set. It was given to me as a gift, so I don't know what the cost to purchase the item was. I can't seem to find a price range in my 2010 price guide..I may be over looking it, but who knows. it's in excellent shape..

Searching completed listings on ebay, they tend to go for $20-$30

supply>demand. No one gets really excited about these, and they are relatively common. lots of modern stuff ends up this way after a few years.

Personally, the regular proof sets are great if you are filling proof holes in coin albums. It is usually cheaper to buy a proof set and break it apart than it is to buy the coins individually.

I would avoid buying the prestige and premier sets unless you like them. I have a few prestige sets that my mother bought me, so they have additional sentimental value. However, I do not feel compelled to buy any of the others that I do not have.

Depending on who gave this to you, it might have sentimental value as well. In my opinion, that is more important than what the price guides say.
