[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 25974334, member: 20480"]This is not a 1970-S proof set. For such specialized coins, published "standard" pricing is almost completely useless. Do yourself a favor, and approach this from one of two directions: If price is no object, first know what the coin you want must look like (strike, luster, marks, spotting, muting of color, etc.), then find representative examples in the auction results, and know that you'll likely have to pay something in the vicinity of what that / those coins sold for, plus a market adjustment for the time that has passed since that sale. If you are price-sensitive, first determine how much you're willing to spend, then survey the quality of the coins that recently sold in that price range, and know that you can expect the average of what you just examined (if you expect the best of the coins you saw in that price range, such as the MS63BN pictured immediately below, or the MS63RB further below, stand in a very long line).
