I just received a set of coins from A-Mark yesterday and am pretty pleased with them. The 2 coins I hoped would be the best in quality are Yellowstone and Yosemite. In fact, they are the least and would probably grade a maximum 67 and a maximum 68 respectively. The Grand Canyon, Hot Springs and Mount Hood would likely grade 68-69. The PCGS holders prohibit viewing the incused edges of the coins, so I really can't take that into account in this case. I am interested in keeping a set of these in 1 form or another. From a "market value" perspective, would it be better to keep the buillion version set intact or would it make sense to sell the Yellowstone and Yosemite and replace them with a collector's version of these 2 coins (assuming I can even get them), hoping the quality will be better? I am happy with what I have from a "keep in my personal collection" standpoint, but would like some input from the gurus out there from a market value perspective. Thank you in advance.
If it were me, I would sell off the ones that do not meet your standards now while they still have a large premium. Then after the prices drop some, go ahead and pickup the ones you sold in better condition for less $$. I figure that the prices will bottom shortly after the collectors are released. Don't wait too long though because this was a very short run and sooner or later prices will begin to rise again, IMHO. My 2cents worth what you paid for it.
