Five 1983 Denver Mint Souveneir Sets

 

Once again, I'm not affiliated in anyway with the seller or product but I am a firm believer in the scarcity of these sets. I think c. 40,000 were produced but many have been broken for the coins.

The seller is a member here: jdodom

 

He's a great guy to deal with.

Those are pretty cool victor.

 

I looked in my 2005 Redbook, (sorry that's my latest copy ) They’re listed as souvenir sets, sold at the gift shops of the two mints for the years 1982 and 1983 when no “official mint sets” were made.

A bronze medal came with every set, and the discription also said similar sets were also made in other years.

 

Wonder what other years??

 

The issue price of each was $4.00 and listed two years ago in my Redbook as follows:

 

1982D……. $25

1982P…..... $20

1983P……. $40

1983D ……$30

 

 

 

I’ll have to look for these at shows now…

 

Thanks Victor…

Sweet set.

Paul, those prices are unrealistic. Even since 2003 they have demanded $40-45 each.

Here's a link from our very own forum with a post and some very good informative responses about these Mint Sets.

Cool sets.

Thanks for the link, Woody. It crossed my mind when I made my last post on this thread.

 

Just like the matte finish coins of the '90's, I feel that these sets are sleepers!

Don’t look at me Victor…

 

You’ll have to take that one up with the editors of the Redbook.

 

And this is why I always say retail coin price lists are mostly useless.
