Message:: [QUOTE="smokeriderdon, post: 1136348, member: 29602"]My father has multiple sets of most years all the way back to mid sixties. I have runs from 1955-1964, 1982-1992 and 2010 and 11 and a few odds and ends. Thats mint sets. Dad has the same in proof sets, all the silver proof sets...you get the idea. Not a one of those sets is the pile of crap a lot of people say they get all the time. Granted, I am sure many folks here deal with a lot more of these than I do, but to go on what I read here, I might as well go press a quarter in a cow patty rather than buy a mint set.  As for value, just depends. The 1955 set goes for 150 or so due to low mintage (probably a good deal more now with silver prices). There are a number of sets like that, perhaps not to that extent, but definately good values. As said, as long as you dont expect to get rich, keep on getting them. The 1973....first year that the Ike dollar was in the proof or mint sets. They did not appear in the 71 or 72 sets. So perhaps they werent bidiots or having lack of knowledge. You all need to stop with this bashing someone for paying what they do for something. I am sure you wouldnt pay the amount I would for a comic book. Or what I would pay for a fossil. Or what I would pay for GSA Morgan CC. I pay what *I* feel the item is worth. The same goes for others. And that does not make me or them idiots or ignorant.[/QUOTE]
