Value of 1997 Impressions of Liberty Set

ajbauman

Anybody have any idea on the value of the 1997 Impressions of Liberty set? There were only 5000 sets made and they consisted of 1 Oz each Platinum AE, Gold AE, and Silver AE all proofs?

I couldn't find it on the price guide as a set... obviously I could just add up the values of the individual coins, but I'm wondering if there is any value having them in the limited numbered sets?

I also didn't see any sold on eBay recently.

What would you pay?

I've never heard of an "Impressions of Liberty" Set.

This set was a Mint issue in 1997, when the Plats were introduced.

There was one on ebay a few months ago, but I didn't record the final value. I think that it carried a nominal premium. Since then, it does seem that the asking prices for the 1 oz. Platinum Proofs have risen, but there haven't been many sales of those, either. It's hard to get a good handle on the older Proof Plats at this time, mainly because of the lack of data.

I have bought 100+ of them through the years and they are basically "worth" IMHO the current value of the (3) individual coins in the set (1997 Proofs of the silver, gold and platinum eagles). Which makes it nice for my son Justin, who nows owns 100+ cool serial numbered wooden boxes in his "OMP box collection" - that is until Mom throws the collection in the trash one day just as our Mom's threw away our baseball cards.

Thanks for the replies guys... so it sounds like $2500 is on the high side then for the set.

wondercoin - Mom can thow as many of those sets as she wants my way!
