Here's some of the sets I'm going thru for my next submission to PCGS

I'm trying to decide whether to break up the sets or just submit the whole thing, what do you think?

I also have these mint sets and after checking pcgs's price guide it just might be worth the cost.

 

I never tried to submit a set before. It sure would seem a pity to have to break those up.

 

That's what I was thinking, but the price on just some ms68's cents are $10,000 to $20,000

 

Also, do these halves look cameo? View attachment 1719141

 

submitt them all

 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but these are not actual US Mint issued sets though, right? Did they ever issue sets in Capital holders? Maybe someone put a set directly into the holder but didn’t a lot of dealers just take random coins and put these “sets” together themselves? Regardless, looks like some nice coins here and good luck with the submission.

 

I came to a decision to take the sets apart and submit as many as I can, gonna start with the cents and then the halves, then the quarters and so on.

 

That hurts me heart just a tad but I totally get it.

Edit-Be careful with those Capitol fasteners. they break super easy and replacements are hard to come by.

 

I saw your post a few days ago. I was going to send you an uncirculated 2024 dime for free, but when I looked again sadly it is a P and not a D.

 

No worries. Thanks but I think I have them all now thanks to kind hearted CT folks.

 

I have metal ones to replace them with so I'll probably use them to put together newer sets.

 

I think i would just submit the jefferson half,s unless there ia an extra potential for something else special is going to come out of the rest, your going to end up paying extra for more common coins in the long run that woulnt be worth much.

 

Good luck.

 

Capital holders have always been a 3rd party, after market thing, not something issued by the Mint or having any official connection to them. It was a popular thing to put proof sets and uncirculated sets in them to protect and display them better, back in the days where proof sets came in cellophane packaging, and uncirculated sets just came in cardboard.

Most proof sets predating 1968, if not in their original government packaging, are usually sold in these.

The first thing the Mint issued in hard plastic packaging was the 1966 special mint set. (No actual proof sets issued between 1965 and 1967.)

The Mint didn't produce any proof sets from 1943 through 1949 and didn't start selling uncirculated sets until 1947 so the pre-1947 "mint sets" pictured here were just assembled by someone post-Mint and weren't ever sold by the Mint as sets that way.

Maybe this is just me but I would rather keep these as sets than submit them if they were mine.

 

I'm not worried about the cost for submission to pcgs, with copper prices at this level the scrap yard is paying around $5 a pound, so my scrap copper will pay for most of it.

 

So far I've found 3 full band dimes, a '35, '40 and '43.
