<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7633145, member: 105098&quot;]The 1968 Mint Set was 10 different coins struck at three different mint facilities. This was Lincoln Cents (P, D, S), Jefferson Nickels (D, S), Roosevelt Dimes (P, D), Washington Quarters (P, D), and one Kennedy Half Dollar (D).&nbsp; the half dollar included in the set was struck in a composition of 40% silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>The original selling price was $2.50 per set. they currently sell for $6-$12 now on ebay if it comes with the envelope and all is in nice condition for the higher sold prices. $6ish if it&#039;s just the coins in the cellophane.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, i&#039;m not going to sit here and look up individual coin prices after grading but to get each one graded, on the low side with ANACS on a &quot;special&quot; it&#039;s gonna cost you $100 or so and shipping to get them graded, if any other service, it&#039;s going to be more like $20-$30 per coin so more like $200-$300, PLUS shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next you&#039;d go look up the values of the coins, and be realistic on what they might grade as. You can look at the PCGS population report on the PCGS website for a gauge on what grade is most likely to come back for each coin, it&#039;s not likely to be the high grade or the low grade ones, but the grade that most of the submissions wind up as, with the highest population in that grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then look up the values for that grade. for someone that doesn&#039;t really know grading well this is the best way to gauge the possible outcome of submitting as an estimate of what returns, and whether or not the cost is worth the likely reward.</p><p><br /></p><p>that said, the set has about $4 in silver in it in the half dollar, hence the selling prices on ebay from $4-$6 as the norm for average sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>So whats the value? Likely not worth the costs to submit them. those sets have been in the world 53 years now, cherries have been picked a long time ago in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>The grade doesn&#039;t depend on grading, grading is just an opinion. the grade is the grade. you pay the grading company for their opinion, not the grade they give it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
