<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cherrypicker, post: 62306, member: 3734&quot;]This is my first time here at the cointalk forum, it looks like a pretty neat place and it seems to me that it&#039;s run by some pretty educated people.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if this is the right place to post this-so please forgive.&nbsp; </p><p>I was looking at the US mint website like I always do, and I noticed the 2005 United States State Quarters Proof Set was out.&nbsp; It includes The Lincoln penny, the Roosevelt dime, Kennedy half-dollar, Sacagawea golden dollar, two of the new commemorative nickels (not sure which two), and the 2005 state quarters.&nbsp; All 11 coins are proofs, obviously uncirculated.&nbsp; Price is 22.95 (without shipping).&nbsp; Is this a good deal?&nbsp; I did my research and looked up the coins in Red Book 2005 (I just updated), and the toal price for all 11 coins added up to be a little over 50 dollars.&nbsp; I know as well as anyone that Red Book is NOT intended to be used as a price guide, however that&#039;s over a 200% difference between Red Book price and US Mint price.&nbsp; I was thinking that maybe in...20 years the set might be worth $50.(?)&nbsp; </p><p>Anybody have any recomendations on me possibly buying this?&nbsp; Any comments would be helpful as I have never bought a set before, haven&#039;t even bought from the US Mint.&nbsp; So, I don&#039;t know what to expect.&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing that they&#039;re trustworthy-not a doubt in my mind.&nbsp; But still would like some feedback.&nbsp; Ok, now I&#039;m rambling.&nbsp; Thanks-</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
