<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 428456, member: 68&quot;]Krause does a reasonably good job of pricing the French </p><p>mint sets but if you look up the individual coins in their</p><p>listings you&#039;ll see they total only a few dollars.&nbsp; The FDC </p><p>aren&#039;t listed separately but the regular BU&#039;s are much high-</p><p>er than what is reported.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Since other countrys&#039; mint sets from 1968 were mentioned</p><p>I thought it might be appropriate to mention this.&nbsp; Even the</p><p>dates which haven&#039;t increased in the home markets can be</p><p>deceptively difficult to find.&nbsp; Don&#039;t assume that just because </p><p>a set is listed at a few dollars that this is the real price. And</p><p>even where it is the real price it can be rare.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Irish, Italian, Swiss, Swedish coins apparently already trade </p><p>at higher prices than Krause lists.&nbsp; Look at Turkey as an exa-</p><p>mple; the mid-&#039;60&#039;s mint sets list for a few dollars but the coins</p><p>in the sets list for hundreds of dollars.&nbsp; Just be careful and re-</p><p>member that there are collectors out there looking for some of</p><p>these coins who can&#039;t find them.&nbsp; And it&#039;s not impossible that </p><p>quantities might surface.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Fixed price lists from dealers are probably a better bet than </p><p>catologs for many countries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
