<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1753506, member: 112"]It wasn't necessarily 30% back of wholesale. What Chris used as his price guide was Numismedia, which is most often higher than what Grey Sheet list. But it depends on what you are selling.</p><p> </p><p>30% back of Bid (Grey Sheet) for bulk Mint Sets and Proof Sets, that's actually pretty good. Anybody should be happy with that because that's about all you're ever gonna get, anywhere.</p><p> </p><p>Chris said most of his coins were all '82-'84 CC Morgans, 15 of them. And he got $5100 for those. Now figure that an '82-'84 CC in 63-64 is roughly a $200 coin, retail, just about any day of the week. Multiply by 15 and that's $3000. In 65 they are roughly a $400 coin. Throw a few of those in and that makes up the difference. Those are Heritage prices, which is not wholesale ! So I'd say Chris did pretty dang good.</p><p> </p><p>But I readily agree with Tom. '82 - '84 CC Morgans in 63 to 65 are about as generic as you can get, but they are in a whole different world if compared to modern Mint & Proofs sets !

Selling at shows is often your best bet as a collector. Chris got retail prices for his coins - and he had no seller fees and no shipping & handling or hassles to worry about !
