    Three different dealers?

    Because three different sellers have three different opinions on how much over melt they think they can get for the sets. There is no such thing as a fixed price in the after-market for any goods outside the manufacturer's control - thankfully. If the market was fixed, you would end up with a coin selling for $xxxx simply because it was in a box with description on the cover or a slab with a certain number on it. No two coins are the same irrespective of the number on the label or the description on the box, and the individual may well disagree with the opinion cited on that label in any case. Would you expect to pay a fixed sum for what is basically a description whether in the original packaging, slab or whatever and irrespective of the contents? I think not.

    A standard recent vintage set. Probably a lot to conclude, but I think this set is likely overvalued - might be due for more of a slide.

    Well, just Love coins, period.

    Yes, quite the tripe. Have you ever looked on ebay under "Proof Sets" for world coins? Yikes, Australia et al gone amuck!
    Although I am a "darksider" I do sincerely hope the US Mint can avoid going completely over the cliff the way they, or
    Canada, etc. have gone.
