1891 Proof Set Value?

toomanyhobbies

Have run across an 1891 proof set, pcgs with grades ranging 63-65 (dollar is 62, dime is a 65) with great matcing eye appeal. Question: how much additional value would you put on a set like this over the value of the individual coins per graysheet if any? It's tough to do a date set in proof, have tried in the past so I think some premium is justified. Question is, how much. Graysheet value bid of these is around $3800 total. Is the set worth $4600? The nickel and Quarter are Cam's.

The premium is VERY justified if the coins are original, attractive and matched. If not, it might still be OK.

Depends on the individual merits and eye appeal of the coins. Especially since there are some CAM's.

While I have no experience at all in buying proof sets of that caliber, I have a strong suspicion that you can throw the Greysheet out the window. Especially Greysheet bid price. Fuhgeddaboutit. Is the set you mentioned worth $4,600? Quite possibly. I suppose that's up to a bidder. Stuff like this usually is sold at auction, I'd imagine.
