    Reverses would be helpful to grading the keys.

    This should be good. I'm keeping my value to myself to see if I'm in the ballpark.

    Bid/Ask should be about 450/500.

    Agreed this would be a good ballpark figure.
    Using Melt values for most of them (and factoring in the slicks would be discounted), with a small premium for the better dates, I came up ~$475 as an estimate. Even the key dates in 'slick' condition aren't worth a lot and are tough sells.
    The '38D is in decent shape, but it's quite common, and dealers have plenty of them in lower grades.

    Agree, The slicks are discounted to below melt ( due to substantial wear ) but still quite a accomplishment to complete a WLH set. Any clue to how long it took to complete? I haven't done it yet. Still working on a high grade 65/66 set but having most fun with a more realistic XF set. Good luck.

    It's funny to me, I agree with the estimates but realize that you can't just assemble a set for that. The effort of doing so, is basically for fun only, zero payback.

    Bidask.....take Walkerguys advice. If anyone around here knows it's him. But you already knew that!

    I'm not sure what that means. You claim not to know, then tell @MrEureka that he made a "good guess"???

    You’ve posted several similar questions over the past few days. Whose collection are we helping you appraise?

    I did not claim anything in this post ....where dd you read that ?

    There are alot of coins in different conditions in this set and and spot physical silver is all over the place.

    So instead of inferring non truths which you do alot on these boards what is your estimate?

    You're welcome - bear in mind this is my opinion of what I think is a reasonable valuation for the set.
    I'm sure there are small dealers at shows etc that would offer considerably less.
    On the flip side, as another member pointed out and others agreed, you couldn't assemble this set for that price.
    Heck, the album alone is ~$20 or so.
    So certainly someone on eBay or the BST may be willing to pay considerably more than my estimate for it.

    Nah... nevermind, I see you do this all the time, and if others aren't bothered by it, who am I to say anything. Since I seem to be alone in my misgivings, carry on.

    READ YOUR OWN ORIGINAL POST. You said "Thank you in advance for your thoughts as I'm not a U.S. coin guy."

    So, I'm supposed to read that as: I know exactly what this coin set is worth. Got it.

    A very Christian response. Thank you.

    And, of course, if you did know what this set was worth, why are you asking? Is that a backdoor way of seeing if anyone wanted to buy it?

    37-D is an underrated date IMO, mostly because of the following year's popularity.
