PCGS MS66 Kennedy set on a budget-how far can I go- updated

halfnut

I have been working on this set going on now 3 years and just reached a mile stone with my set. I have just 20 to go (plus 3 upgrades needed). This set can be done a budget,
so far each one has been under 40.00 -most much less. The set so far has averaged just 19.00 a coin. This is a great set for a starter set. My question is how far do think I can go finding ones under 40.00. I see ten more that I think I can get before I have to did deeper. My goal is to get the whole set under the 40.00 average and I still have room to do that.

Quick update just got two more for under 40.00 and these were a surprise a 1982 D and just picked up a 68 D from a board member Auction ,so I feel good that I can keep this under a 40.00 average per coin.

If your average now is $19, you can buy the same number of coins that are in your set now at $61 and still average $40 each

None should be over $100.

Edited to add that 1966 and 1969-D might go over that.

I could have bought 1965 and 1967 last spring for under $100, but didn't, and now the two most recent on ebay went for nearly $200. I did buy an ms66 1966 for $175 last spring, but the quality was lousy so I returned it. I'm sure it would cost even much more now. I just bought an original roll of 69-d's so hopefully I'll get a nice one of that!

With time and patience this set can be assembled very cheaply from raw coins. It gets
more difficult with each passing year but even the toughest ones are still available now.
They may not be by the time you finish a set started now, though.

And the 1965, 1967, 1970-D. The 1969-D has gone as high as $450 recently in MS66, although I think that sale was a fluke. Average is about $200.

Edited to add: The one 1969-D I was able to make in MS66 sold for $318.

Thanks all, I forgot to add that I have yet to submit any coins to PCGS I have gotten all from E-bay or other forum members here.
