Mint Proof Set Prices - Need some help for my sons

TheRock

Good morning everyone. Iv'e started something new for my boys since the new 2005 Mint Sets were released this morning. I ordered 4 since I have a 4-Yr old son and (3) 2-Yr old sons. Yes, that's right "TRIPLETS". Had to order one for myself also. However, the question is?

I need to purchase 4 complete sets of "Mint State" (NOT SILVER) coins in orginal package. I have been looking around EBAY and can't really seem to find what the prices should be for these sets. They are all over the place. Can someone give me an est. buy price for the following.

99 = $
00 = $
01 = $
02 = $
03 = $
04 = $

Any help would be great.

'05 Redbook says:

99 P-D 18 pieces $40
00 P-D 20 pieces $19
01 P-D 20 pieces $24
02 P-D 20 pieces $19
03 P-D 20 pieces $30
04 P-D 22 pieces $19

The 04 is way over that now I beleive. The greysheet is more current (accurate) but I don't have one. Plus I'm sure that if you just put a "favorites search" on these on eBay and follow them for a while you will get a real accurate idea of what they are going for.

You're welcome, but I just realized you referenced the sets going on sale this morning which are clad proof. I gave you the prices for the UNC Mint Sets.

Here's the 05 Redbook prices on clad prof sets.

99 -$90
00 -$22
01 -$75
02 -$50
03 -$20

They don't list the 04 set.

Suggestion number:
1. Go to the Whitman web site and purchase a Red Book on coin
prices. It may be annual but gives you an idea.
2. Check any book stores for a coin pricing book just for ideas on
prices. Even if a year old good for an idea.
3. If you have any flea markets near by go to them. Many of them
have coin dealers that sell the proof sets for far less than on
ebay or other on line sellers.
4. Ask people on this forum if they want to sell some of those.
5. Good luck on raising 3. That's going to be expensive.

I know it is going to cost me, but my kids are worth it. Thanks everyone for the help.
