Need to sell anniversary silver eagles - would like advice.

I only bought one silver eagle anniversary set, unfortunately, but I have decided to sell, and I would like some advice -
1. Should I send them in to NGC to be slabbed? (I am an ANA member, so thta's why I chose NGC - no "extra" cost to enroll.)
2. I have the original shipping box, though I did open it - should I just sell them raw in the box?

I want to maximize my money here. I decided to sell because I really don't collect eagles, just as silver, and while I enjoy the set, I don't htink it's a long term hold for me, as it would be an orphan in my collection.

What would you do? What should I do to get the most cash? My wife wants a new couch, and since she carries my child, I think I should probably get her one.
B/S/T List.

    if you openned the box they will only desiginate the Reverse Proof as 20th anniversary. So i think you better off selling it raw..

    thats my 2 cents.

    I'd sell it raw unless you think they'll grade 70. No need in putting in more money on a 69 set that will sell for around the same money.

    I agree with ttown. If you had a box of ten, perhaps grading them would be a good idea in case you had some 70's to keep. Just one set.....take your $250 profit and move on.

    Ther is a big difference between open and unopened boxes, so be careful with you expectations.

    Raw sets are bringing around $350-375 less any fees.

    Sealed sets are bringing more.

    Well, mine isn't sealed, so I guess I can deal with $250 or so profit.

    look for ebay's closed auctions, come back here to the bst, knock the ebay fees out of the price,
    and i bet it'd be gone quick.
