I came across 1989 and 1990 souvenier set (3 in each). Never knew existed are they worth more than $1.00 a piece?

    Yes they are if you leave them in the mint packaging. One of the souveneir set years commands a very nice premium .... I forget what year though. Look on ebay and you'll find all of the answers image
  • They bring in between 5 and 10 dollars but being
    mint giftshop items the future may be good to them.
  • I believe they were 1979-80-81 and the 81 goes for a bit more.

    It can be tough to sell the '79 and '80 dates. The '81 does bring a substantial premium because
    it's a very scarce date. You can find dozens of the other dates for each '81 you find. Additionally
    the '81 dollars are all relatively low mintage with the lion's share appearing only in the regular mint
    sets. There were a few released also in bags and for sale to dealers in later years. These latter
    were all overruns of mint set production and returned mint sets.

    Oops. If they really are '89 and '90 they are 5 piece sets and do carry a small premium. These
    are not the same quality as regular mint set and contain the output of a single mint. They were
    made starting in '71 or '72 through 1998 and most were sold at their respective mint. None are
    common except the '87's.

    My last post was in reference to the 3-pc SBA souvenir sets.

  • I don't think you made a mistake Cladking, I think the original poster did. (89 and 90 five piece souvinier sets wouldn't have SBA's in them.)

    That's sure what I thought. SBAs were minted in '79, '80, '81, and '99 only. The 81s were only available in Mint sets.
