kenscott Pillar of the Community United States 787 Posts	Posted 11/16/2011 8:38 pm Hello, I purchased a 2002 proof set a while back with plans on reselling the set. Now, I am seeing the set go for pure silver content. This being said, I know one of the quarters is more rare and sells for around $8 to $10. Now, to me it does not make sense to sell the entire set for just silver content. By doing this, a proof Dollar and Penny are going for free. I think I shall break up the proof set and sell the coins separately while keeping one or so for myself. What are your views on breaking up sets? Report this Post to the Staff

kenscott Pillar of the Community United States 787 Posts	Posted 11/17/2011 03:59 am I slid apart the cover to the silver quarters in my 2002 proof set. I have them in coin sleeves now and will likely have them up when I think silver is where I would like it to be for my personal goal (around $35-$39). Kenscott Report this Post to the Staff

The sum of the separate parts will always sell for more than the intact set. If you want to maximize the sale, break it up.
