: : I have a 1977 8 pc Barbados proof set. Includes $10, $5 coins. I am having trouble finding comparables online. After hours of searching I have found several other years in this set but not 1977. Is this a rare set, how can I find out more about it?

: The Krause catalog lists the mintage as 5015 (about half the amount as the previous year) with an issue price of $55 and a current market value of $35.
: The market value puts it at about melt value on the two largest coins.
: Mintage might be low but demand is even lower thus the low value.

Thank you for the quick response Coulport!! I think I will try to sell these, I inherited a few coins and have more interest in keeping and collecting the coins from the US. THANK YOU again.
