[QUOTE="Teddydogno1, post: 1936925, member: 71226"]When my daughter was born, I bought for her a "full" set of coins for her birth year: 2007. Got them directly from the US Mint.

I understand the "Proof Sets" are in a category by themselves and have a fairly "fixed" value that can be readily found (looks like about $18 total for these 14 coins). I also got a 2007 American Eagle 1 oz silver coin and 1/10 oz Gold "$5" coin. These last two are also in the original packaging: plastic capsule for the coin, in a "velvet" box, inside a cardboard sleeve. These also are listed as "Uncirculated" rather than "Proof". Is there some variability in the quality/grading of coins packaged and sold this way by the Mint? Or can they be assumed to be perfect? Would these be graded as "MSxx" or "BUxx" or something else? I also think I read somewhere that the 2007 gold Eagles are valued a little higher than similar years for some reason, but cannot find again where I read that. Thank you. rob[/QUOTE]
