<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 631830, member: 19423&quot;]I think average proof sets from the early 60s are worth around $12-$15 each.&nbsp; The 1960 is worth a little more since you might have the small date cent.&nbsp; A quick eBay search should confirm what the actual current going prices are for each year or someone may be able to give you the Greysheet prices which are what a dealer might pay you for them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I haven&#039;t collected proof sets much, but I&#039;ve been told that there really isn&#039;t a good chance that &quot;sealed&quot; early proof sets are really unsearched as it isn&#039;t that difficult to search them then reseal the envelopes.&nbsp; Unless you can trace their history back pretty far, I&#039;d assume (and I think most purchasers will assume) that these have been searched.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you really think they are the real deal and are not searched, you may do better by opening them up to see if you have any that might be candidates for the very high grades that could command much more than the value of an average set.&nbsp; Also might have some cameo or deep cameo coins.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In 1960, you might have a small date cent which is worth a little more or a DDO dime which is worth several hundred.&nbsp; In 1961 you might have a DDR Franklin half which is worth well over $1000.&nbsp; In 1963 you could have a DDR dime which may be worth several hundred.&nbsp; In 1964 you may have accented hair Kennedy Halves which command a decent premium too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That said, unless someone is willing to pay you a significant premium for the &quot;unsearched&quot; and &quot;sealed&quot; sets, you might do much better searching them yourself first and worst case you&#039;d still be able to sell them for the going rates on an average set.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
