[QUOTE="Twobit, post: 2198222, member: 73939"]With a little time and patience you could probably build a G-VG set in the $500-$600 or less range but I wouldn't expect to be able to sell it for much more than that. Even new to the series folks start with the coins you speak of but quickly gravitate to the higher grades xf-au ish mostly because at that grade level there's really 10 or so dates with a big price tag (09-svdb,09-s,10-s,11-s,12-s,14-d,22-d,24-d,31-s) and even then with a little time and patience they can be had at discount prices. As others have said it's a pretty thin market for such a set and those that will buy it are either buying for the keys or buying to resell and will only spend x amount on it and generally looking at a wholesale or less price point. And no money in it otherwise for the collector or reseller. Mainly because there's really only 5-6 coins in the set that are sellable or really tough to sell in the lower grades. And alot of times those same coins can be had at wholesale or less. Now if you were to put a set together in the vf-xf ish average grade well thats a whole different ball game as it will be much easier to sell. But then again I could be way of my rocker with my assessment analysis.[/QUOTE]
