Help finding original US Mint issue prices

BigA · June 30, 2021 10:30AM

I was able to find a few but need a list of Mint issue prices for ASE's (MS/PF) and Mint sets (Annual Dollar and PF). I am trying to get a start on recording a cost basis for tax purposes

TIA

For commemoratives this site will be helpful: https://moderncommemoratives.com/

I think the red book has mint/proof set issue prices?

The following might help with the Proof ASE's ...

In that case, I suggest searching old press releases.

For example, a quick scan of "Silver Eagle" + "Available Year = 2007" reveals:
~ the 2007 Proof-W ASE release

~ the 2008 Proof-W ASE release

These two websites have issue prices for each US mint and proof set
(you will have to click each year individually as I don't recall there being one table for all years)

Glad your dilemma is solved @BigA

easiest thing to do in the future is record price on a spreadsheet at time of purchase.

Some good reference links above. I agree with @derryb, record the prices as purchased. However, back in the early nineties, when I started buying sets, I was not so smart :'( .... Got smart later though.... Cheers, RickO
