The 1798 Dollar has potential, but the 1799 has pretty clearly been cleaned.

There are several varieties for the 1798 and 1799 capped bust dollars.
Using PCGS Photograde, believe the 1798 grades F15 (FINE 15). 1799 has been cleaned. Believe the grade is VF25 to VF35.
RETAIL value of the 1798 is in the 2K range.
RETAIL value of the 1799 is in the 3K range.
Both opinions valid....IF the coins are authentic. Not a series that I collect and do not follow.
The 1828 half dollar, looks to be in the XF40 to 45 grade range. Definitely been cleaned. Has some obverse and reverse damage. Price/Value? Ooooph....could be $100 to #450. Multiple varieties to discern.

Let me add, even if cleaned, coins in TPG holders of the caliber of these will get the most money rather than raw ones, in my opinion. |

okay, I posted in the NEWBIE section, and from what I'm reading in some replied that even if cleaned these coins have great value. Is there anyway someone can tell me an overall value for ONE of these sets with varied conditions of cleaned or not cleaned? I'm not going to break up the set, I'm going to sell each set as the set my father made. I do remember him saying it took years to put each together. He left one to each of my sons.

You will likely get significantly less money selling as a set than individually. But that decision is up to you. Plus, the buyer will probably break them up anyway. Sentimental value = zero additional retail value.

There is no way to give you a worthwhile overall value estimate for these sets without full pics of each coin, or at least those dated before 1935. Otherwise we're just guessing.  |

I'm with the frog. My suggestion of sending them to Great Collections for TPG grading the ones that are worth it, and auctioning them off individually is the best suggestion I can give, like it or not. It is up to you if you want to take our suggestions or go your own way. Edited by jimbucks

I'm going to sell each set as the set my father made. I do remember him saying it took years to put each together. He left one to each of my sons. Apologies for asking, but if your father went through great effort to put these together, and left one to each of your sons, why are you selling them? It seems he really wanted to leave something special to his grandchildren. In my own case, I never met my grandfather, but the coins he left and passed down through the family are one of the only things I have to get a sense of who he was. Speaking with as much respect as possible, and recognizing that I also do not understanding your situation, I ask you to think carefully about this, particularly if your sons are young. |

Since I'm new to this from I do not know what to click on to respond to people comments so they show up under their comment. I'd like to answer Susuman who is wondering why my family wants to sell my dad's coins that he left to my two sons. The answer is this: We are not collectors, we don't see the appreciation of owning them, they have to be locked up in a safe so enjoyment isn't something that we get from them. We have other items of my fathers who we all enjoy regularly. These coins along with all his other coins belong with someone who truly is a collector and enjoys owning them. Also, I know my dad be proud that I found out about their value before selling. (He'd roll over in his grave if he knew the price of gold today! When he died, it was still hovering around $400/ounce). I sold one of his gold St. Gaudens twenty dollar pieces last year and I'm sure he would have been proud to know that piece soared in value).

Well @DennisSG that is awesome set. I am just guessing but if you turned on the ability to other members to send you private messages on here I would strongly guess you would find a collector who would guy them.
