Mint sets:keep intact or break out the coins?

RVDavis

I have a few mint sets: 1957,1960,1961 and 1962. 6 in total. I am a Morgan collector and do not know what to do with these. No, I ain't going to send them to the forum members.

Reading through the posts, I guess it is common practice to submit the high value coins out of 40 or 50 year old mint sets and submit them for grade. Or, should i hold on to them for gifts to the as yet to be created grandkids?

Unless there are some killer quality/toned gems, I would keep the sets together... As usual, it depends on the grades of the coins.

I'd check them for FBLs.If they're are some it may be worth your while to submit them.JMO.

Thanks. The coins are nice, of course hard to see through 40+ years of mint plastic. The Franklins don't look that wonderful but I have no skill in determing RD or RB or FB or FBL, depending upon the coin. I see that some of them are quite valuable in high grades.

I do notice that some of the 5 cent pieces are very very nice. May have to post a photo or two and ask the experts on that coin.
