A number of folks have asked me to get Proof sets, break them up, and then send/sell them either: (a) the Lincoln Cent Set; (b) Quarter set; or (c) the Pres Proof set. But that leaves a fourth lens: the one that has the proof nickel/dime/half/Sac. I don't see much of demand for that. Any ideas what to do with that?
Yeah -- I might do that. I actually sold them separately -- and the nickel, half, and Sac sold. For my next one, I'll try selling them as a lot and see what I get.
how much did you get for them? I'm in a similar situation and deciding whether to sell as a set or separate. Was it a silver set or clad?
Each one sold for my initial start price (so perhaps I could have gotten more? I dunno) and each one got exactly one bid (except the dime): Nickel: 2.99 + .99 S&H Dime: 3.49 + .99 S&H (no sale) Half: 5.50 + 1.50 S&H Sac $1 5.50 + 1.50 S&H I re-listed the dime tonight at 2.99 + .99 I thinking I did better this way than what I could get if I sold together. I dunno, whaddya think?
I would just throw them in a 2x2 and sell them. There are always people putting together sets in a Dansco or similar album that could use them.
Ahhh... Coin collecting has changed. <Chuckle> What the OP is calling "Odd Ball" is what Proof sets were - up until 1998 - the cent, Nickel, dime, quarter, half and occasional dollar coin. Too funny. Time to get a new cushion for my rocking chair.
Give them to a kid on the street if there really odd balls ,maybe he will start collecting coins by getting him interested in them JC
Sholom, here is what I do with coins like this.... I have a "odd ball" box at home. Anything extra that I pick up at my local coin shop or extra out of my books, I put in here. The better stuff I may sell either to CT members or on WINS or at my local coin club auction. The less better stuff, I use for material for contests on give-aways on here or to a young numismatist. You can't put a price seeing the look on someone's face when you give them a nice coin. FWIW.
