<p>[QUOTE="Tamaracian, post: 8372646, member: 23122"][USER=100459]@Jim Dale[/USER] do you have possession of this "Western Set" or are you asking for advice on how to buy a "set", or as individual coins? <b>If buying</b>, my suggestion would be for you to determine what you're willing to pay for an individual coin and then see what the fair market price is for the "83 and "84 as they will set the price for a specific grade. For example, you're willing to pay for the AU58 grade for each year; then you could either look for an ANACS or ICG slabbed coin (as they will be lower than PCGS and NGC), OR, you could look for a slabbed MS Details or AU Details "Cleaned" coin that may still look great (or a lower grade, say EF45, that will still show good detail), OR, you could take your chances on eBay or another auction venue and try to pick up a nice looking coin that you think will grade what it appears as in the Listing Photos. <b>If you're selling</b>, depending upon whether they're graded or raw, you can set your FIXED selling price say at 80% of the current market price for each grade; as a "set" I would bump up the asking price by another 5%, IMO that would be a "fair" starting point as a seller. NOTE: my experience is that unless whatever coin(s) you're selling are scarce, rare, high end for the grade, super toned, or an in-demand variety, the chances of you getting the market grade (Say the PCGS Price Guide) is nil, however, a "set" will garner more interest, especially the Carson City issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
