<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 6591170, member: 13307&quot;]Just going to say the price includes the cost of shipping, which is most likely going to cost the seller around $3.&nbsp; So it&#039;s an $8 Ike in the real world on your end - and remember, the seller has to pay fees, so it&#039;s a $7 sale for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I feel like you could find one for a few dollars less elsewhere, or even less as part of a huge buy (as in, buying a bunch of proof sets at a discounted rate from someone who wants to move a bunch of inventory.)&nbsp; A full 1975/1976 Proof Set is still a $10-11 Numismedia FMV, so a coin shop will probably want something close to this - but then you&#039;re getting the whole set, and you can pick one with a nice Ike.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re just wanting to buy ONE Ike for a set, it&#039;s not a terribly outrageous price.&nbsp; Personally, I&#039;d look around for one where I know <i>exactly</i> which coin I&#039;m buying (because there is a great range in quality with these 70&#039;s-80&#039;s proof coins, and a lot of them are milk-spotted or cloudy.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m also one of those people who&#039;d rather buy a ton of proof/mint sets for a super discounted price (quite a few dealers have offered me common proof/mint sets at 2x face value, seriously, because they just sit around taking up space for them) and picking the gems out for my own sets (or to send in for grading, or to sell later for a bit more of a premium, or just maybe to photograph for practice.)</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO, hope it helps inform your decision[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
