Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 637778, member: 9270"]I have a run of silver US Mint Sets from 1954 to 1964 in original packaging. The 1954 through 1958 sets are the double sets in paper/cardboard holders.As such most of the coins have toned.The cents still look red.The nickels run from untoned to a light golden brown.The silver coins run from light peripheral toning to a peppery spotting, mostly towards the rims. The 1959 through 1964 sets are the single sets in floppy cellophane(?) packaging.They appear to be generally untoned. Do they have more value as original sets as opposed to put-together sets in third party holders?Have silver US Mint sets been growing in value or are they rather static? In case you haven't figured it out I'm considering whether I should sell them and put the money elsewhere in my collections.Or keeping them because they are moving along in value. I'll have to make the same decision about my silver proof sets from the same timeframe.[/QUOTE]
