In January, I purchased a '64 AH proof set for $21 or $22 .... I think that was a good deal though, likely a bit higher elsewhere. Cheers, RickO

This is a good question. I haven't seen any from 1955-1959 in a while . I usually find several at garage sales and flea markets, haven't seen any in a while . I was paying from 125.00 to 140.00 for the 1955's that was a while ago. Can't seem to find them at the antiques shops anymore either. Would like to see what others here think .

Another example of a market that seems to be dying. People don't need them for birthday gifts anymore.

Interesting what little interest there is in the purchase of these items at anything less than a steep discount off of Greysheet bid.

Does anyone think that selling the coins in roll format instead of proof set format would generate a better price?

I don't know what kind of offers your BST thread is getting, but if it's any indication, I haven't seen anyone buying higher than 20% back of bid on these around me (not a huge sampling, but just for perspective).

They are usually priced in their shops AT bid.

I doubt it. As I said earlier, this market seems to be fading away. The people whose birthday's fall in these dates don't want to be reminded of their age. This is a problem that extends to other dated collectibles such as Christmas plates as well.

Interesting. I just sold a 1957 to 1961 proof set date run on eBay for $157. vs. the $112 bid. A 1959-1961 group finished at $85.00

If you use/care enough about greysheet values, you should go to their website and buy current ($5) or any back issue ($3) for download and keep on your computer
I do it about once a year, as the values don't really move that fast (or at least haven't for the last 10 years).

greysheet / cdn website

I agree with others, if you package 2-3 sets together, they do well on eBay if you don't mind giving money to eBay/PAYPAL/USPS and putting up
with the occasional jerk bidder / buyer.
