Question
hello, I have a 2002 uncirculated royal canadian mint set that i know basically nothing about. it was in a jar along with savings bonds that were purchased for me when i was born in 1989 so im assuming that it was also purchased for me when i was born. however, the back of the envelope that the set is in says 2002 so im not sure when it was purchased. there is a piece of paper that says what every coin is made of, its face value, weight, diameter, and the type of edge on it. also it says there were only 135,000 sets minted if that helps. i'm wondering roughly what its value is and whether it should be held on to or sold. thank you!

Answer
Hi Adam, this 7 coin 2002 uncirculated set should be worth about $10-$15 depending on amount of collector demand.
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
