[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1046770, member: 26729"]Yeah, in 82 and 83 the only way to get a mint set with all the coins was to visit each mint seperately in person and buy that mint's 'souviner set' from the gift shop inside the mint itself.

I guess the seller assumed that the 83 "set" was worth only as much as some of the other sets in the 80s. ??? I picked up a 1982 set that was put together by a coin magazine at that time and given to new subscribers as a gift. Got that set for about the same money, but the coins were junk. It looked like the magazine employees just pulled the 82 coins out of their pockets and sealed them in plastic film. :([/QUOTE]
