US mint sets 1958 and before are double sets so a 1957 will have 2 of each coin with a face value of $3.64. This was done so both sides of each coin from each mint could be displayed in the cardboard holders that came with the set.
Value depends on if it's a Mint issue Uncirculated coin set which would have two examples from each Mint (20 coins) that struck coins for circulation in 1957 or a Mint issue Proof set that has only 5 coins in it. Post new question.
A 1955 US Mint set contained 22 coins. It had 2 coins from each Mint that produced coins for circulation. All US Mint sets from 1947 through 1958 are double sets.
The set should have coins from the Denver mint & the Philadelphia mint. 5 from each mint
Mint sets from this year have 2 of each coin an were packaged in cardboard.This caused the coins to tarnish,If your set is in good condition with no tarnish value could exceed $300.00. ----- The price varies according to the market. As of 2012-07-25, PCGS lists it as: 1956 Mint Set: $170 [1956 Proof Set: $57]

It would depend upon which 4 coins are in the set.
The U.S. did not make proof sets in 1967, only special mint sets. The coins were copper-nickel except for the half dollar which was 40% silver. If you have a special mint set its value is about $10 retail. With the price of silver where it is you have 15 to 20 bucks in silver alone. If these is the 1967 Candien proof set i have seen them go for close to 50 bucks on eBay and that's starting the biding at a penny and watching it rise. I personal think the value is in how cool each coin is Candians seem to have more intresting coin designs than Amercain coins
A 1961 proof set contains proof coins, which are specially made with extra care and polished dies to showcase the design details. These sets are typically sold to collectors. On the other hand, a 1961 special mint set contains uncirculated coins that were made with a higher standard than regular circulating coins but not as meticulously as proof coins. Special mint sets were produced by the United States Mint as an alternative to proof sets and were intended for general circulation.
A mint set contains uncirculated coins from a specific mint in a specific year. Proof coins are specially made for collectors, minted with a higher quality finish, even mirror-like on some surfaces. Currently in the U.S., mint sets are available from Philadelphia and Denver, while proof coins are minted in San Francisco.
You have to set up and account with the mint, it is very easy to do by phone or the web
