What are you guys seeing lately for value/price of a high end Jeff set in album? 38 to date w/proofs? A while back, a really nice set, not just foggy MS60-62s, were pushing $600 bux.
May I ask what a set like that goes for? (not really what YOU paid, but 'fair market value') When you say "MS67", are you saying you have an entire set slabbed, or just that you have all high end coins? My set is 46 to date, with proofs in Dansco. I have some recent silver and clad proofs to get, but very little before 2000 is left to get. I am having the same issue with my pre-64 dimes as the Jeffs... Dealers have PLENTY of MS dimes, but almost none are "album pretty", if that makes sense? I can find dozens of each year in MS, with funky spots, ugly (as opposed to pretty) toning, and bag marked surfaces. Clean, clear coins with eye appeal are few and far between, even for common dates.
Jeffersons are a great coin to collect. I put together a high end set, less the 42-d. Some of them are far from cheap. Anyway, I like them over Roosevelts just because they are larger, and when they are gem, they sure are pretty.
I'm collecting both. Regardless of key dates, there will be some dates much harder to find than others. Why, I don't know. If you are roll searching you'll see what I mean. They're both fun to collect.
I paid about $1100 for entire slabbed set of regular strike silver dime set to 1964, no proof included, all NGC MS67.
