In my experience, if a dealer has a nice set with obvious cameos in it, they often demand a price over grey sheet ask. It is then up to you to determine if that is fair. This is hard because you have to look through cellophane if the coins are in original packaging. (or you can have Russ or Marty negotiate for you - they get everything at bid or below)
If the coins are PCGS certified, you can get a ballpark by looking up the individual pieces in the PCGS price guide. Add them up and divide by two and you will be pretty close. This is just a rule of thumb so only use it as a guide for PCGS coins. For non-PCGS coins, you are on your own.

I'm sure Russ and Marty have some pitfalls to avoid they can suggest in this situation. One I can suggest is make sure the coins are two-sided cameos. In the 1950's dies both of the dies were not changed at the same time, so you can have a coin which is cameo on one side and not the other. Such a coin is worth a lot less than one with cameo surfaces on both sides.
