You will likely get the most selling them one by one. Going by Coin World values in MS 63 we have... 25, 24, 50, 60, 100, 35, 35, 20, 45, 35, 20, 20, 70, 30, 20, 40, 25, 25, 35, 35, 20. That takes you to 56, in order. Then 57 on, they are all listed at 18 or 19 and 63D is 20.

Now, thats full value at MS63. You wont necessarily get that, but that will give you an idea.

Sorry you are at the point of having to sell. Hope everything works out for you man.

Very nice. Makes me want to start a Franklin set. Are there raw MS60+ coins out there?

It is a beautiful collection of Franklin halves, much better than my circulated set. I know about the hard times issue as I had to sell $8,000 of my coins last year due to unemployment. I hope your hard times end soon.

Looks great. Did you buy each coin individually or bulk up from time to time?

each coin was purchased individually.

i was wondering guys, I wanted to know how much I can sell each coin for?

should I start a new thread with detailed pics of each coins asking what the retail value of each should be? I know its hard to see from the pics here what the values should be. I think I will take pictures of each obv/rev and hope someone can put the price on them

I did a beautiful MS grade set like a decade ago, at the time most grades and mints could be had for $8-10 in MS grade. I sold it in college not sure if I want to do one again, I looked up the current price of them it seems most ms grades are like $20-25 nowdays. So yea its doubled in about 10 years, I remember a nice BU grade set would have set you back $350-400 when I did one.

Still a very nice set that can be done afford ably and with only several dates and mints that will cost a little more.

Yea SD it such nice set and can be done at a good price too (it seems the set has easily doubled in value the last decade). Right now I am reassembling my type set I sold (also doing a fun circulate type set for my little boy) and then I was going to do a commemorative set (both early and modern). After that I might revisit the Franklin set, you really do have a nice set there and I remember it was fun to put one together.

How did I miss this one before? Maybe because it was in the wrong forum?

Very nice set!
