[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2583461, member: 77413"]Try contacting one of the auction houses. They would deal with this relatively often and have strategies worked out already. I believe some firms (I am thinking about GreatCollections) will handle breaking apart the set and getting everything graded. I did, in fact, buy a Dansco of Lincolns 1934-1991. It had 180 coins, with both full red MS and most proofs from about 1957. I only mention this because the entire set was only $225. As I photograph them I see that the graded equivalents are tens of dollars - far from the $1.25 that I paid on average. So I suspect that buyers for full sets may be rare, unless the buyer feels they're getting a huge bargain. If you can, get someone to maximize your value for each coin on the open market.[/QUOTE]
