Price Of Uncirc Mint Sets At Coin Shows

You have probably already looked at completed sales for those sets on ebay, making sure to look at the shipping charges (which are listed separately).

Another source I recommend is the FMV prices at NumisMedia.

Proof & Mint Sets FMV Prices

NumisMedia is a good guide for retail value. Prices at coin shows, in my experience, have never exceeded these prices.

Ahhh.....Upgrading huh ? That is so much fun !
I tell ya, I was like the Tazmanian Devil, cracking all those Uncirc., Proof, and Silver Proof Sets to put the coins in my albums.
I kept my "circulation" albums and folders as they were, and just started new albums with all the older Sets that I purchased over time, and just had so much fun breaking those open as I went along filling holes!
Putting those nice quality coins in those Dansco's sure is a beautiful thing !
I'm at the point now, though, that it's cheaper for me to buy the coins I need "individually" rather than in the Sets, because I've already bought and used just about everything from the early 1960's to present day.



My local coin shop uses Grey sheet prices on everything........so for the most part, they were all REALLY cheap for me.

it's a subscribable coin guide that comes monthly and is for dealers but can be bought by collectors. its supposed to very accurate

I ended up buying a bunch online, but not off ebay. Getting it from one place saved a bunch on shipping. I also was able to buy them (including shipping) for less than NumisMedia FMV price.

As you can imagine, people have had 30+ years to pick the best ones out and I went with the low cost option so they weren't perfect. Most of the coins from the 70s were toned and many sets had at least one scratched coin. The more recent the set, the better the coins looked.

Since I am comparing them to coins that have been in circulation for decades, I am very satisfied with the decision and will probably buy another batch.
