<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1806747, member: 36230&quot;]Please understand that I am <i>not </i>saying that this is what you&#039;re doing, but you do realize that overgrading, intentional or not, is just as much of a rip as overpricing, right? My point is that if you wish to be fair and honest, price is only one part of the big picture, and with all due respect, whenever &quot;gem&quot; is thrown around as the supposed grade for an entire set without any kind of proof, it is usually best to take it with a grain of salt.</p><p><br /></p><p>If, and I mean <i>IF</i> every coin in the set/sets is at least a 65 by <i>accepted </i>standards, the above price is not unrealistic. However, for a set of generic &quot;uncs&quot; of varying grades, it is quite high. If I remember correctly, unc (or generic &quot;BU&quot;) war time nickel sets are listed in the CDN weekly at somewhere around $70 bid with a minimal spread, so depending on actual conditions, this may be a reasonable place to start.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I think is most important here is that at $220 for the pair, you need to ask yourself if your grading abilities are truly up to par, because if they are not, and the coins are not what you&#039;re hoping for, you very well could end up buried unless you&#039;re willing to fluff the coins into being whatever you need them to be. With that said, and even if all are legit gems, or unless there is something special hiding in the sets, $110 a pop is high if you&#039;re trying to pay wholesale and walk with a profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>If possible, and if you&#039;ve any questions about the coins themselves, please post quality photos of the sets before you buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
