Hey everyone, I just purchased this proof set from 1981. They look like type 1 but I can't tell. It may be worth grading these. I don't know if they will get a high grade or not. But, on PCGS some of the type 1's in high grades sell for quite a bit. I don't see any abrasions on their surfaces and they are eye-catching but I don't want to spend the money if it won't work out.
Welcome to the forum. I wouldn't have it graded as it might be special to you, but not special to anyone else. The only coins I have graded are some that I eventually want to sell, otherwise no reason to grade.
Link? In PF-70, *some* of them do seem to sell for a lot. Cent and Nickel mainly. But The drop off below 70 is large (here's the difference with the cent): I'd suggest leaving them as is. You'll spend $40+ a coin to have them graded. Welcome to CT.
Yes. The OP thinks his set are Type 1, so that's what I was going with. Type 2 coins are more desirable. Here's the comparison:
Welcome. These coins are unlikely to be worth the considerable expense of having them graded. Keep them as-is and enjoy them in the government holder.
Question, sort of related. It's hard to tell from the photos if the coins are type 1 or type 2. But my question is - is it possible for one proof set to contain both type 1 and type 2 mintmarks? Or will it for sure be one or the other?
