I did find one other site that had a single plate for $25.00 so that gives you a couple of figures. Try to Google your heading and you will find 477,000 hits.
The 1961 US Forces In Germany plates were issued to every GI who drove a personal vehicle in Germany. What makes the license plate some what difficult to find is that the plates were to be returned to the military when the new plates were issued in 1962. The 1962 plates were red with white lettering and only the words U.S.A. across the top. When I was stationed in Germany, I had bought a VW bug that had the 1961 U.S. Forces Plates. I still have the plates today.
laurentexas, Check my posting number 58 and you will see the 1961 plate and 1962
