[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 3009339, member: 13307"]Off the top of my head, I'd check the following years: 1968 (missing S mint mark on the dime) 1970 (missing S mint mark on the dime; Small Date Cent) 1971 (missing S mint mark on the nickel) 1975 (missing S mint mark on the dime) 1979 (Type 2 - clear S mintmarks) 1981 (Type 2 - different than 1979 Type 2, which is the Type 1 for this year) 1983 (missing S mint mark on the dime) 1990 (missing S mint mark on the cent; a couple strong doubled dies on the nickel and quarter) I'd also check for any rainbow toners or deep cameo early Kennedy Halves (1968-1970.) As for your sets, there is a free online price guide at [URL='http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/pricesms/sets/prices.shtml']Numismedia[/URL]. It will give a general idea of value for each year. Personally, if someone handed me 550 US proof sets from 1968 - 2008, I'd check them all for varieties and then sell/trade them for something that takes up less room. I see tons of these sets at auction and they rarely get anyone excited (except me, because I check for the varieties and have found some pretty major ones.)[/QUOTE]
