<p>[QUOTE="Beardigger, post: 6657788, member: 104605"]I'm one of the few who really like the mint PROOF sets. Since you got them for free......you are already ahead of the game. The mint sets are a little different. I only own 1, and I understand your feeling about just breaking them out for pocket change.....But there are those who might want them at a premium. You would have to check eBay for completed listings to find that out. I would just keep them all together for now.....and research them as time allows. Proof sets are cool. Not worth what you pay for them.....but you paid nothing so you are ahead. You are young, it doesn't cost you anything to keep them , and who knows.... as fluid as the coin market is, they could be worth big bucks 20 or 30 years from now when you are thinking about retirement. in 2051 a 1978 proof or uncirculated set will be 73 years old. 73 years ago was 1948. what are 1948 uncirculated and proof coins going for now?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
