Found myself in Kansas last week w/o much to do, so stopped into a gift store that also had coins.

First sets of these I've ever owned! image

    Ain't it amazing the things you can find to do when you are bored?

    umm brother, have you done an audit those two sets yet? Looks like you might be short a few.

    Commonly sold on Ebay. You got them at the gift shop at the mint. They sell anywhere from $3 on up. Why
    I don't have a clue as there is nothing unusual about them. They did this for 1979, 80 and 81.

    How much did you pay for them?image
    FYI: the 1981 SBA set is the one to look for.

    Hard to believe those sets are now over 30 years old.

    They were $5/set. He didn't have any 81's, o/w I would have bought him out.

    List price was $6. image

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
