<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1023046, member: 26302"]I know you wouldn't want them Doug for $30 Doug, and neither would I, but I agree with the dealer in his estimation of street value to an average consumer. To an average American who wants "really old coins" or an American coin collector who is only buying the coins for their historical value and does not know the types or backgrounds, I would think that $75 is not a horrible price for these with all of the presentation material. You are a more advanced collector Doug, like me, and we do not need all of the frills associated with these sets. Many do, though, and I believe they would view it as adding value. Think of a collector with no coins past 1920's, getting a gift like this to pour over the articles, look at the coins, I think it would be a wonderful gift for $75. I know I paid WAY too much for the first 4 or 5 ancients I bought, yes these are paying too much for the underlying coins, but to a non collector they are worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
