<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 90939, member: 4626"]Just saw in the USAA gift catalog that they're selling 5-coin year sets (penny thru half dollar) for any year 1934-2005, along with a little presentation folder mentioning events that happened that year, $24 each. This sounds like a good deal for like 1955 or earlier but think it would be cheaper to do it yourself for anything more recent than that. I can tell you that doing this for 1924 cost about twice that, lol...</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway not too hard to do yourself if you're so inclined. I've seen many coin stores that have plastic whitman holders esecially for year sets. Cost about $1.49 for a 5 coin set (penny thru half) or $2.49 for a 6-coin set (penny thru dollar). They also now have 5-quarter (great for state quarters) and 5-nickel sets. How much it costs to fill a given year depends on what mint, and what condition of course. For the 1924 set I got the quarter on eBay and got the rest at local coin stores.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
