Thanks for looking & asking, Iron$hield - @ironshield. If one looks closely, they will notice, that all the Silver coins, are Proof. You ask, "How much did all those pretty coins cost in real life?"? Someone paid way too much, for these overpriced, but absolutely beautiful, US Proof Silver Set Coins, from the US Mint. The Local Coin Shop, usually, pays 10% under & sells 10% over, (20% profit). I paid about 10% over melt or Silver spot price. Equal to junk box price. Half Dollars were a little higher. I guess the real message here is to find, and get to know, your Local Coin Shop.
