I think your pricing is too high on a few of those coins. A dealer is always going to only want to pay 50% to 75% of the actual retail worth of your coins, depending on the demand of the coin. If you have a really rare or in demand coin, they might go as high as 70%. And they use standard publications to determine the worth of coins. Dealers always try to get coins for 50% of their worth or less on retail pricing-unless it a rare or pristine coin.
I used to resent dealers for their tough dealing, but they have to make a profit to stay in business. I don't care much for usury-and that is what a person has to look out for in coin dealing-or in any business for that matter.
You can always try to be a dealer yourself, and take your chances on getting the prices you are looking for. I am personally not to fond of dealers who grossly over price their inventory. And if a dealer does overprice their coins, they won't get repeat business.
But what do I know, I am a consumer not a business man. I am too soft to be a businessman. These are just observations I have made over time. But as the the Christian parable pointed out, it was the person who was willing to take the most risk who got the highest return. (I am sure he was talking about a higher type of pursuit than coin collecting, though.lol)

Umm, no idea what any of this speech is about...
But for the original post, yes, it's just a random assortment put together to sell to tourists, usually obnoxiously glued in-my mother loves to buy them for me thinking that I'm going to love them when she travels abroad. There is an official World Cup set by the Mexico mint but those are all silver. They just used the World Cup logo to make it look like any of these were special somehow.
The $ sign is for the dollar. It is also used for sign of the Mexican peso. The OP wasnt sharing pricing. He was letting us know the date of the denominations.

I was telling about my experience in coin collecting. He was asking about pricing, which you did not talk about. I missed the point, and Oklahoman hit the nail on the head. Also, there is old saying, Tovarich, if don't anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Based on this search, only the 1986 $200 was struck as a circulating commemorative, and it is not even in the set. The other commems were struck in silver and gold and were non-circulating.
To the best of my knowledge the $1 (i.e. 1 peso), worth about a fifth or tenth of a cent back then, was useful pretty much only to take the subway. Yes, subway rides were that cheap. I suppose that was a way to try to reduce the horrible traffic situation in Mexico City. Perhaps there were other use of the $1 but I don't know them. Usually, in such countries, very low denominations are used by the poor to buy government-sponsored bread.
Here is one I have in a cello pack. Like US mint sets.
1 cent. 1966
5 cent 1964
10 cent 1959
25 cent. 1964
20 cent. 1965
1 peso 1966
Never really thought about it. Got in a swap from David. They are all in UNC to XF. But now not sure it an Mexico mint set
