<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1782394, member: 27832&quot;]And yet, I&#039;ve seen other posters in this very forum lamenting the single-minded care and expense that they put into their exemplary complete sets of (say) Franklin halves, only to find that they couldn&#039;t get much more than melt for the complete set, and that they would have to piece out everything to maximize their return (which would still be much less than they put into the set).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Are there seriously dealers who pay a premium for a themed set, or are such sets always valued on the assumption that they&#039;ll be pieced out?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for me, I&#039;m an opportunist. If I see a coin for $75 that typically gets $150 <i>in the same venue</i>, I&#039;ll snag it. If I see a lot going for junk-silver rates with a couple of potentially desirable items, I&#039;ll take that gamble. I don&#039;t do much reselling yet, so I guess that makes me an accumulator. Perhaps it also makes me crass or contemptible, but I&#039;m enjoying myself and harming no one, so I&#039;m not losing sleep over it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
