<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1207636, member: 68&quot;]If anyone is interested the prices on these sets in the new Krause are way higher again.&nbsp; The 1971 that listed for $85 last year is $525 this year.&nbsp; I think the 1969 set is grossly undervalued relative the other sets.&nbsp; This one is low mintage and is likely to have far higher demand in the future than the others.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The real increases this year are the Soviet moderns.&nbsp; Some of these are up 24000% .&nbsp; One mint set went from $20 to $2800 and many individual coins that listed as common are now over $100.&nbsp; Australia also has a few sharp gains in the moderns.</p><p><br /></p><p>People should remember that many moderns are still grossly undervalued in the catalog.&nbsp; Even those which have gone up recently will bring stronger prices than catalog in their home markets.&nbsp; Indian proof sets still seem to be a bargain to me though not so much as they were.&nbsp; With mintages even under 5,000 and a very high attrition it seems unlikely that 1.1 billion Indians can&#039;t create a lot more demand than is seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind that the circulation issues are actually more difficult to find than the proof in many cases.&nbsp; Look for issues that didn&#039;t appear in mint sets.&nbsp; Even mint set coins may be undervalued&nbsp; lot but I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; This is the tough thing about moderns is that it&#039;s hard to determine rarity until collectors start looking for the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
