I have bought entire sets in Gem BU for $70. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   01-06-2009, 12:50 AM   #5 (permalink) Mr. Coin Lover Supporter**     Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Florida Posts: 1,078 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by GDJMSP In those grades it is going to be minimal, maybe $2 - $3 at the most for XF's.

The higher grades you mentioned, maybe, at most, $2.00. These don't really start to pop in value until AU and/or full steps. I buy them for close to melt value.   01-06-2009, 07:00 AM   #10 (permalink) bama guy Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: southern alabama Posts: 972 My Mood: decent circulated coins about a buck a peace, at least that is what I paid for a set a couple of years ago. Purchased a NGC 66 set for for $249 this year and believe that was a fair price. I love these coins and just wanted a nice set. Steel cents are now on my hit list Last edited by bama guy; 01-06-2009 at 07:11 AM.

First with only a couple dollars difference between circulated and uncirculated coins I would not buy one in circulated condition. Second if I were to buy a coin and had the money to invest in an uncirculated set I would consider a 1942S, 1944P, or a 1944P in MS66FS condition.   01-09-2009, 11:29 AM   #12 (permalink) sketcherpbr Enthusiast     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Tennessee Posts: 662 I bought an AU 1942-P about a week ago for $0.75. great deal = ) __________________ Monetary values amount to nothing in the face of a coin that's survived centuries to make it into my hand.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
