<p>[QUOTE=&quot;looksbothways, post: 183426, member: 7420&quot;]Ok, here is what I was told in a nutshell.</p><p><br /></p><p>He said, first, not to break the set and have the rares graded/slabbed. He said he would recommend it only if there were a question about the grading that would make a difference in the value of the coin or set. He said since this entire set is circulated coins with little variance in grade quality, there&#039;s no value to be gained by having the rares graded separately.</p><p><br /></p><p>He also said, aside from the four obvious rares, I have at least three other coins in the set that are the rare version/quality of their particular year. He wouldn&#039;t elaborate further without doing a paid appraisal of the full set coin by coin. He did say that I would probably shortchange myself by selling online or sight unseen because of the three other rares. I&#039;m aware that might be dealer talk for &quot;OMG if she sells it online I&#039;m out my cut!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>He said, even though this collection is all circulated coins, the person who put it together obviously had an eye for flow and continuity because there&#039;s very little grading difference between the best coin in the set and the worst, which boosts the overall value of the set slightly due to how pleasing it is to look at. This was another reason he recommended leaving the set as is.</p><p><br /></p><p>His final recommendation was that I put it in a safe/safety deposit box and keep it. If I wanted to sell it, he recommended I take it to at least three dealers for a rough estimate, then have one dealer do an official appraisal. He said most, including him, do free appraisals if you end up selling it to them..otherwise you pay for the detailed appraisal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
