<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 2444643, member: 68&quot;]A lot of the coins in these sets are virtually unavailable from any other source.&nbsp; The FM spared no expense in assembling them and charged accordingly.&nbsp; It&#039;s not only that the coins can&#039;t be found in Unc elsewhere but that they can&#039;t be found at all in some instances. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It might also be noted that the issuing country often took pains to supply the finest coins.&nbsp; Even where you can find the coins elsewhere they might no be as nice. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Frankly, these sets could constitute an entire collection of world moderns except for two major flaws; they cover only a few years in the late-&#039;70&#039;s/ early &#039;80&#039;s and they made enough of thesesets that the coins are actuall &quot;common&quot; relative some of the other dates in most instances. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I like these a lot and regret every set that I&#039;ve passed up over the years.&nbsp; I always snagged them cheap and busted them up but I never payed full price or anywhere close to it.&nbsp; I passed on one complete set for $100.&nbsp; In those days moderns were cheap and you couldn&#039;t buy everything.&nbsp; It was expensive to pay for safety deposit boxes and they fill up fast if you try to buy everything.&nbsp; $100 was real money in those days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
