historical US mint prices information?

timber100

Does anyone know where I could see what past coins actually sold for at the US mint? I have bought and been given various proof sets and commemoratives over the past 20 years and I was wondering what some of the coins actually cost when purchased from the mint. Also another newbie question, how do you go about putting a picture in a post on this site? I tried to attach a photo and was unable to do so.

Thanks

Check a Red Book. I believe the original issue prices are listed.

I know that the 2007 Red Book has them.

The easiest way is to open a free photobucket account. Upload your images there. Under the picture on PB you will see 4 options, left click on the bottom (IMG) option and it will say copied. In your post, simply paste the URL you just copied into your post.

Edited to add: Welcome to the forum, and yes, the 2008 Redbook also has issue prices for proof and mint sets.

You can also go to the Mint website and look at the archive of old press releases announcing the release of new items. They usually list the prices.
