    won these last night so dont have them in hand yet

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-US-Proof-Coins-Sets-/300975635247?nma=true&si=p00gbD%2BzZti%2Fx0TUpplg6CvbPBY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    description is wrong and that may be why no one bid

    pictures are bury but i think i see 1x 1977 set and 3 x 1776-1976


    just relized i baught these 36 year old uncirculated coins for face plus shipping now im happy.

    cant wait to see the ikes. and at least one of the sets is getting cut up. i ned a 76 dime for my album. I hear they might be one of the most overlooked clad rosies.

    what would you have paid?

    yeah i wasent even thinking about face value when i bid. i was browsing the coin area if the time ending soonest filter on and i seen and said cool i bid the first bid and let it go and didnt plan on bidding again. I should have bid on the other lot he had but thoes had sba's in them and i wanted the ikes. from the picture that 77 looks nice. i think this may start me off with collecting unc ikes

    Ikes are a short series and if I am not mistaken fairly inexpensive as well, even in Unc.

    I'm not too big into modern clad coinage so I'm not sure what I would have paid. But I think you got a great deal!

    Not a very smart seller. The sets have $7.64 cents in them. They sold for $8. After Ebay fees and paypal fees they won't even get that back. I guess they were hoping for a bidding war. Worked out well for you.

    To put together an album, dansco, or raw uncirculated set, yes they can be inexpensive. Get into some higher grade ikes, double dies, and other varieties, and you're looking at a potentially very expensive set. Are the 76's type 1 or type 2 Ikes?
