Beautiful blue from the set in the 10c and 25c pieces.

Thoughts??

    Keep your knife or other blades away.

    To sell? It's probably best to slab the gold coin. The others don't trade for much.

    That case is known to tone coins nicely. If you slab and sell the coins, make sure you save the case and you can make some nice toners in it.

    Edited to add: It's probably tougher to find those coins untoned as opposed to nicely toned like yours.

    Why would you want to slab them. Leave the set in the case.
    Except for the gold $20.00 coin the others aren’t worth the cost.

    These are nice but not the monster colors needed where the cost of slabbing pays off. If selling, you would probably do better leaving them as-is (I don't think the $20-$30 average per coin would be recouped).

    They're nice coins so I wouldn't "stab" them ("Are these toned coins worth stabbing?"). The dime and quarter are really nice, but what do the obverses look like? In general, these coins look nicer than typical, but these sets are also known for their blues and purples.

    If I were selling the set I would offer it intact with the box and without certification of anything and see how that goes.

    The $20 gold piece is the only one I would slab especially if it has a strong cameo. The others are too plentiful unless they have spectacular toning or cameos. Coincidently, I have 4 at PCGS now, all formerly ICCS certified.

    Top grades sell for much more than modern value slabbing costs. The black box are PCGS proofs and you need exceptional color or higher grade CAM/DCAM. I like the side shown for the nickel, dime, quarter and half. Here is my PL68 (from red box) with typical 'textile' toning on down side. You can check what they have sold for on eBay or GC.
