Should I buy?

I went into the local coin store yesterday to find a 1960 mint set. The quarter and also the half was toned, and he only wants $20 for the set. So, here's the big question, would you buy it if you could?

i probably would, but of course im new at this

 

Yes!

 

no that to much for that i look my book retail is $2

 

Um....think silver prices.

 

yeah, the silve itself is worth what, 18$ then he said it's toned

 

A 1960 mint set has a P and D set of coins (10 coins total) and would be a steal at $20. If it is a half set (P or D only, 5 coins) or a proof set (5 coins), it is still a good buy at $20. TC

 

The silver alone (50¢, 25¢, and 10¢) is worth over $21 (at present spot price of $35.76 per ounce).

 

Make it yours.

 

What TC said!!! Buy it!

 

Buy it, post it, live it.

 

Probably. I am getting $24.99 + shipping for a Silver 64 D circulated half/quarter/dime on eBay. I would buy it from the dealer to sell the silver and put the cent and nickel into my folders.

 

While I don't like burning of books, you really need to toss that one in the fireplace. IMHO

Although these prices run a bit high Numismedia.com can give you a close idea of what each coin individually is valued at. Look them up and do the math. But as others have said the silver is valued at about $22.

What ^^^^^^^^^THEY^^^^^^^^^said.

 

An uncirculated mint set from 1960 for $20?

I would buy those at that price all day long. Average price for those around me is $36.
