Best way to sell a Modern Commem Set??

I have a modern commemorative set of uncirculated coins. The set is missing only the WWII gold half eagle and almost all of the coins but a few early one grade MS69 or MS70. All of the key coins, the Jackie Robinson $5, the Smithsonian $5, the Library of Congress $10, the Olympic coins of 1996, all grade MS69. The are a few MS68 dollars in the set, three of the Olympic 1984 dollars and the old hag Olympic dollar....Sorry, the Shriver dollar. I have them all encapsulated by PCGS, some in green holders, some in blue. The coins I purchased directly from the mint, about 90% of them, have their original cherry box and cardboard packaging. What would be the best way the sell these? I am not pressured for time, but I would like to use the money to invest in other interest.

Sell on ebay at one cent no reserve with the scarce commems and the green label modern commems. imo

Sell a few each week on eBay. Offer to include the original packaging if the buyer wants it (and you still have it.) Don't think of it as a set. Think of it as singles and sell them accordingly. The 68's will probably be a tough sell. You may want to consider cracking them out, putting them back in their original packaging and selling them raw. Don't put much effort into the 1980's issues (except the 1984-PDS $10 if you have them). Try to time the selling of the gold coins to a time when gold is rising. Don't offer the gold if gold is falling.

I first try to sell them as a set on eBay, then after that doesn't work sell them individually like 10 a week.

If you bought them from the Mint, you'll be disapointed in the pre 1995 issues, but happy with the post 1995 prices
