Proof or mint set?? Normal proof set is around $8, and normal mint set is around $14. The only thing it really has going for it is the last 40% silver Kennedy, which were only issued in these two sets, and not for general circulation. A proof set will be in a hard plastic holder and the coin will be highly reflective and/or frosted, while the mint set will look normal and will be in a cellophane wrapper.

If it is in a box it is probably a proof set and it is worth $7.25 to a coin dealer. However there is a 1970 what is called a small date and that set is worth $73 to a dealer. Go to a coin dealer to see which one you have, in fact check with a couple of dealers. If there is a coin club in your area ask one of their members. Club members can be very helpful.

How are you defining "perfect"? Are they "proof", "uncirculated", or circulated coins in nearly uncirculated condition. Proof and uncirculated coins are sold in sets by the US Mint and will not be found in circulation. The value of these sets can be found by looking on eBay. If these coins were pulled from circulation while still very new, their value would be somewhere between face value and the value of an uncirculated US Mint set. You can also look in the phone book for a coin shop (or jeweler in you area who also handles rare coins) and take them in for an appraisal.
Since none of these coins is significantly different from currently-produced coinage (OK, so the penny is 100% copper instead of copper-clad zinc, big deal), there is no significant additional value over face value if they aren't uncirculated. Just because they are 33 years old, they aren't by any means rare.

Look for the same or similar set on eBay. Don't buy coins unless you really like them. It may be difficult to get your money back later.

Take it to an auctioneer who has regular auctions of collectables, typically a mix of coins, stamps, postcards, cigarette cards, vintage toys, militaria, etc. The best one in my area, south-west England, is Tamlyns at Bridgwater.
