Move along
Well said, I am, as others should, he doesn't want to sell,
MOVE ALONG
Finally I disagree with you. He paid full retail and wants to sell at full retail prices for each individual coin...but wants the ease of selling them in one bulk transaction without 700+ eBay listings and 700+ shipping labels and envelopes.
Which, no problem @jonjet ! Get the most you can, they are your coins! But you seem to want it both ways (ease + high prices) when "marketing" your collection and can't give even the most basic info. Good luck.
I get it, BUT
Just give a price!
Yes, of course. (I was being a bit tongue in cheek but it's hard to read that without tone of voice).
How hard would it be to say $50,000 or best offer and then go from there? Or 75,000 or best offer or whatever? Just something.
I think you should keep the set. You’ve clearly got a ton of sweat equity and emotion tied up in it and I think you’re going to struggle to achieve a figure that’s going to make you happy based on your responses to the posters here.
If you need the money out of it, pick 10-20 high dollar and the easiest coins to sell and repurchase them later when finances allow. Otherwise just keep the set!
In response to Wayne - I've gotten some for $1 or $2 in a lot. It's fairly common for a dealer buying a large inheritance to value a PR70 modern cent or nickel next to nothing. You obviously won't find them at that level individually or on eBay.

Somebody please show me where I can buy any PCGS SLABBED coin in this set for $2.00 or less.
Raw coins, yes,slabbed, no.
Wayne
I've picked some up under $10, I got one in the $6 range, but never near $2.
I also picked up 3 or 4 at under $10.00 but never a Lincoln cent.
I chuck it up to emotional responses from those who say this trying to solidify their response. When serious people do the math, they know the true value and will respond accordingly.
A 2012 pr 70 Dcam clad Kennedy is a good purchase at $125.00 and the silver pr70 Dcam silver at $200.00.
I would love to buy them at a $67.00 price.

So since you buy lots, offer Jon $50k and you can get every coin for under $65.00 as his set includes the 2022 set ( if he agrees). You will be able to sell each coin at a profit, well maybe not.
There are many, many coins valued over $65.00 then there are under
$40.00.

That is a really great set and accomplishment. Congratulations. I do hope someone is able to keep it going. I wish I had the means to do so. Best of luck.

If that is what You do regularly...I have a suggestion
Buy all the "next to nothing value" PR70DCAM's You can possibly afford
Store them in a vault
Revise Your Last Will & Testament to give them to the great grandchildren of Your great grandchildren
And Your heirs will discover a goldmine 200+ years from now
If Your situation doesn't allow that...then do as Wayne advised earlier

I can afford it. I don't understand the obtuseness of two. Everyone else seems to agree: you should share the PCGS guide price and/or your asking, and that your expectations expressed seem lofty. I will move on, though - I wished you the best and good luck several times, and have said it is a neat set. However, you have not provided any substantive pricing data as has been requested by multiple people.
I am not bound by Your sale requirements or those of anyone else
It's My Collection and it will be sold My way
Now that it's obvious You are interested in nothing more than a dealer-level price...
The number You'd need to pay to buy the Collection just went up 10%
You're not getting the point: I can afford it. I don't understand the obtuseness of two.

A) Affording something and Being willing to pay full retail, a premium for gold boxes, a premium for shipping, and a premium for the completeness of a #9 ranked set are too very different concepts.
And the $10,000 is just as serious an offer as you withholding an asking price or the PCGS guide value which you should easily have accessible as the set owner.
And the $10,000 is just as serious an offer as you withholding an asking price or the PCGS guide value which you should easily have accessible as the set owner.
You've said it Yourself...
Most $40 coins are not worth more than $1 or $2 to a dealer - so the PCGS Price Guide means nothing to You
I have read this thread with interest and in this reply give my two cents.
I set aside any discussion about who should put a sale offer or purchase offer on the table first (that discussion would not accomplish much).
My thought about a sale of the entire collection to a collector is that such a sale would be feasible only if Jonjet can find a collector who:
likes to collect US proof sets from 1936 forward;
has a competitive streak that can be satisfied by striving to be the best;
likes the idea of Registry Sets and all that goes along with them;
has financial resources that would allow him or her to collect the best of the 1936 - present proof sets;
likes to find bargains/deals (i.e. buying a partially complete existing Registry Set at a price that provides a discount off of the total of the asking/selling prices of the individual coins); and
does not have a problem with the idea of purchasing a partially completed set from a collector such as Jonjet and then putting in the time, money and effort to acquire sets from 1936 to 1956 and/or to upgrade existing coins when possible.
Whether any such collector is present is unknown.
Best of luck to Jonjet in finding a buyer that fits the above template.
Should this thread really be taking up space on the BST forum? Seriously, "Considering selling" is not the same as selling, and it's one bump per day last time I checked.

I wasn't going to post to this thread, but we have a very long and accepted protocol on the BST board of only allowing one post per day per thread for sellers. This is done so that everyone has a chance to be at the top of the board and have their items in the limelight. Otherwise, we will be the wild west with folks boosting their threads many times in an afternoon. In my time here there have been scores of folks who have been offered the advice you have just dismissively waved and many times their threads disappear entirely or are frozen.

He’s trying to tell you not to respond. Seller can post once a day. You’re overtaking everyone else’s threads when you reply, which you’ve done almost two dozen times.
When You can show that You've chastised those who are providing unwanted - unsolicited - opinionated posts that callout/quote Me and are doing the same thing...
Then You have a complaint
Incidentally...YOUR post also moved the thread to the top - just as Tom's did along with every other Harry and RichardCranium
I have never asked for advice or comment from bystanders - onlookers - passersby - or riff-raff
Much less a lowball Dealer looking to make a score
since already at the top - a "lowball dealer" LOL ...
you wouldn't get a dime over $10,000 from 95% of dealers.
Tell us the PCGS guide price and then multiply by 35-40% as another forum member suggested (and I agree, along with many others) and that is the value to most everyone.
