Do you have many of the memorial varieties? I think there's a lot of bubble in this but it's not just going to pop. The interest will die...
Krause can be slow to reflect current market conditions and then neglect to change the mint set price when they do update the individual coins....
Congratulations. I have a pretty good idea how tough some of these coins really are. I was working on the set back in the days that there...
As a rule "unopened" sets aren't. There are lots of counterfeit envelopes and I don't think all the mint sets were even sealed when they left the...

With the reserve banking requirements in place in 1964 the currency was hardly backed by metal. The coins may have been silver (except cent and...
The government primarily was lokking for a material that wouldn't attract much attention so it had to look a lot like silver. The cu/ ni clad cu...
Long term trends are probably unfavorable to long popular and widely collected US coins. There will be numerous ex- ceptions but there...
First hit on google "bag cents"....
Mostly all you'll find is '58 to '64 and a few from the mid-'70's. Is this what you want? They shouldn't be too hard to find. If you...
A lot of the European moderns from that era are really hot now. They've been available for decades for almost nothing but the switch to the euro...
