Early Commem Registry Set for sale on BST board

MFH

I'm seriously thinking of selling off my PCGS Registry set of Early Commems - which is currently ranked # 3 on the full set of 144 - and I posted the set to the BST boards. ( Grade ave= 64.98) This set has no toners. All the coins are either white to blast white and some have edge-rim toning. I'd be happy to provide images from my scanner/copier to interested qualified parties. This set also includes the two Norse medals, Thick in P-65 and its lightly toned off white, and the Thin in N-65 and its creamy white with no toning what-so-ever.

I'm not interesting in consigning the set to be broken up for the keys and having a dismembered set returned to me. I'm interested in an out right sale.

Originally, I had thought of consigning to a major auction house, but thought I'd try the direct approach first.

Any thoughts, suggestions, insights and offers greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your indulgence - I hesitated in posting this on the Registry Board - but I only got one interesting PM from the BST Board - and thought I needed some additional exposure to others' thoughts and viewpoints .

Mike has a good eye and I bet this set will sell quick..wonder what it is worth? A picky high end 65 set...in my opinion many of these have not moved at all and should go up with the rest of the market..low pops and growing interest from the state quarter program i would think,,

I believe major auction house could auction your set as one lot on your request. There are 4 lots of 50pics commens set just went thought the last superior auction.

MFH

I could very well be wrong, but its my understanding that most of these lots ( 50 coin type sets ) did not sell.

That's the problem, selling at auction is really a "crap-shoot". Selling individually listed lots ( either in PDS groups of three or complete type groups, ie: Oregons ) may be the way to go.

Still would prefer the set to sell as a whole.

Anyone had the time to look over the set on the PCGS Registry ?

Anyone figured out what I should expect for a fair offer ? I would expect Blue Sheet Bid... but I don't have those pages available to me.

Thanks,
Mike

Nice set.
How much do you want for it?

NgokLi

Your set can be easy sell on ebay and get the price you want if you willing to breakup the set. (ie 5 coins a day over 4 weeks.).
Bright white commens are always getting a great price on ebay. Or if you have the time you can consign to a dealer which will charge 10% if they sold your coin. If you look at all the great sets in the past, They all have to break up when is time to sell.

everybody ahead of me should sell out so i can move up in the standings.
seriously, good luck.
best regards, checkersfred

The deal is 99.9% done. I'll have the #3 set of early commems for a few more weeks now, then its off to someone who wants a complete set to round out his collection. Congratulations are heartfeltly given.

Thanks to everyone who offered sage advice. This has been another learning experience.

bigbadchad777

You will have to build another one now!

MFH

Sorry Chad...I was rooting for your proposal if the deal didn't go thru !

7 figures ? hahahahahahaha
6 figures ? hahahahahahaha

I got out of it what I had into it...remember the GPA was 64.98 not 67.98.

I started the set in 1999 and completed it last year. At least I didn't loose anything, and I had the enjoyment of assembling the only complete collection I had ever seen.

My first love (in coins) is still the SLQ and I'll be upgrading a few in my primary set. The upcoming B&M Sale has the #2 set on the NGC Registry up for sale, consigned by Bob Moreno. ( Nice set, Bob) .
I hope to pick up a few items in that sale.
