<p>[QUOTE="TheFinn, post: 2972452, member: 90102"]They should do well - they're always in demand. I sold some coins an elderly gentleman friend of mine bought back in the 70's. He knew nothing about what he was buying, which is the biggest mistake, but the dealer, an honest man, told him he would do best to buy complete sets. He made a bit or broke even on a lot of the stuff (some of the coins had been cleaned, which wasn't as critical then as now), but he did very well on the keys. He has a 1916-D Merc dime I offered raw to dealers at XF-45 money that they passed on. So I sent it to PCGS and it came back AU-50, so they paid me $1200 more than my initial offering. In AG-F it is not hard to find.</p><p>So, I would say that if you are going to do this, get the best coin for the grade with great eye appeal. Don't get them in grades below VF-30.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
