[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 2918979, member: 31533"]Just an idea... perhaps because in saying each individual coin -- in MS65 --- is valued at 3$, their value of the set at 3.00 might indicate the quality of the sets may not uniformly contain coins that will reliably grade at a MS65. If you break up a set and get five coins that grade at MS63 and MS64, enough of these coins in these grades may never reach even 1.00 in value. Go to a show and usually you can find "BU" washington quarters (and ones you might be hard pressed to get a MS64 in even if they have lots of luster and are uncirculated) for .75 cents each in 2 x 2s. Five coins you might get .75 each at is only 3.50, and that is close to the set value at 3.00 --- So the sets generally probably have coins of about a MS64 quality and that is too common now to have a larger value, coin by coin. note...
