It includes 2 1987 W 5.00 gold coins: NGC 69 and NGC 69pf Ultra
and 2 1987 Silver Dollars, NGC S pf69 ultra and NGC ms69 philadelphia.
Any help would be appreciated.

Wholesale price on this set in OGP is 690-720. I'm not sure how the NGC Slabs affect the price. There would probably be a significant premium if they were MS70/PF70. I have seen several modern commems graded ms69/pf69 that do not seem to carry that much of a premium.
Hope this helps.

Another interesting note about this set. They actually sold these at Kmart back when they came out. A friend of mine got his there back in 87. Not really relevant to the value, but I though an interesting little fact. |

K-mart sold the two piece sets (the first time a the government sold sets through a commercial firm) but I don't believe they sold the double sets. I vividly remember the sales of the Constitution set. The K-Marts had people lined up out the door to buy these sets at $250 a pop. The coin shop I worked in was just down the street from the K-mart an we were selling the set, in OGP, for $5 over the bullion value or $110. We couldn't sell a single one of them. The only difference btween us and K-mart? Our $110 price was for cash or check, at K-mart you could put the $250 on plastic at 18%. We finally sold the sets we had for scrap. |

You know whats funny, the guy who has the set was talking about how they were used by the State Department to give to dignitaries. Then I hear about how they were sold at Kmart !!! Are you kidding me, too funny ! |

Not only could you use plastic to buy it a Kmart, you could also put them on Lay-A-Way. At least that's how my friend got his. |

Would have been funny if gold spiked while it was on lay-a-way I think Kmart only charges a buck for lay-a-way ! |
