Selling them locally may not make a big difference, but to a coin shop and eBay, it does. "If the  coin (or set of coins) you're considering buying isn't listed in the Greysheet,  you might want to reconsider ~ and for the Greysheet values to be valid for your  coin(s), your coin(s) must be in the original box or packaging,  with the original papers that it came with when it was originally sold by the  U.S. Mint. Without the original box and papers in nice condition, the coin(s)  will bring less than Greysheet prices. (Original boxes and papers are for things  like proof sets, mint sets, commemorative coins and  sets, US Eagle bullion coins, etc.)"    <a href="http://www.coinbidders.com/warning.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinbidders.com/warning.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinbidders.com/warning.asp</a>[/QUOTE]
