[QUOTE="ksproul, post: 549657, member: 16855"]I was just going through some proof sets that I recently purchased, including a 1983 set I picked up at a local coin shop for $5.

The Greysheet has this proof set set at an ask price of $875 and the PCGS prices for the dime alone range from $850 to $1750, depending on grade. I'm very excited about this find, to say the least.
