Just wanted to find if anyone here had a handle on what they thought a fair price would be for a complete set of proof (or simply uncirculated for that matter) state quarters. I know there are the two mint sets as well. Any help would be appreciated.
The current value in the Blue Book is $133 for 99-07, the 08 had an issue price of $13.95, for the proofs (non-silver). What I've been seeing on ebay is closer to Red Book prices, but I'm looking for silver proofs. I don't know if it's fair but it's a starting point.
If you have a complete set like I have, Dansco albums 8143 & 8144, which include all the proofs, They are going for around $600. to $700. Actually the only set worth money is the 1999 Silver proof set..The rest are not worth alot. Hope this helps.
FWIW, I've got $241.18 in my 2000-2008 silver proof sets. I don't have the 99 yet. That's all with boxes and COAs (except the 01), the 2000 set included the silver proof set w/penny, nickel, etc.., getting the 01 set dirt cheap and probably over-paying a little buying the 08 set directly from the mint. The rest from ebay and shows. I also put a standard, but nice circulated set in an album, mostly from circulation, and leave it out on display. Uncirculated examples from dealers typically sell anywhere from 0.75 to 2.00 a coin if you want to go that route. At 50 coins, you're looking at about 75 bucks to get it done. But I must say, there are still a lot of nice examples in circulation, that aren't much worse or almost equivalent to the ones you'll pay 0.75- 2.00 for. I found all the nice ones I could first, and ended up buying a few that never seem to show up around here.
