<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 54989, member: 112&quot;]There is a whole lot of wisdom in buying the coin and not the holder. But - you knew that was comin didn&#039;t ya ?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; When faced with a situation as you describe and the coins are all equal - THEN the holder matters. Especially when you are talking about original Proof sets from the &#039;50s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I collected these sets for many years and I can tell you from experience - that Greysheet bid ONLY applies to original sets. Now there may well be dealers out there who will tell you different if they are trying to sell the coins. But YOU try to sell them to the dealer and you&#039;ll soon find out - if it aint original - that price does not apply !</p><p><br /></p><p>Now then - if you can purchase an original, problem free &#039;52 proof for $250 - then you better jump on it. I haven&#039;t seen one sell that cheap in some years. As for the same coins in a Capital holder - I wouldn&#039;t expect a price of more than $150 unless the coins were exceptional or cameo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
