Any comments on the advantages of one of the above. I live near the border in the U.S. and should I sell someday it will be most likely into the Canadian market. Edited by philoponus6

Is the set in the original case?
If so I would leave them as is and sell that way.
If you get them graded, they would have to be removed
from the case and slabbed individually.
Also if you use ICCS, even though it would cheaper, they
do not put them in a hard slab, it is more like a pouch.

They are in a plastic, Capital holder, and clearly have a matte finish, and look as original as they could possibly be.

Unfortunately these are mintstate, not a matte specimen set. But the dollar looks particularly nice grade..maybe even a 64? We'd have to see better pics. I'd guess the previous owner wrote PL set since it is in an aftermarket holder that resembles what many 1950s-60s era prooflike sets ended up in.
Feel free to call me Will.

Very nice indeed. As a potential Canuck buyer I'd prefer to see them individually graded by ICCS, although I'd be strongly tempted to offer on the complete set as is.

Thanks for the info, now I assume they are mint state. Here is another photo of a set. Is this proof-like, or just a bunch of mint state coins? I have an opportunity to buy a bunch of these. I thought they were proof-like sets, but some of them are labeled MSxx.  Edited by philoponus6

I know that PCGS can evaluate a group of coins at once (for example, I have seen them evaluate the presidents' dollar by 5 pieces or the parks/states quarters). Maybe it 's better to do the same here ? so as not to separate each coin from the set.
Although if the holder is aftermarket, many coins may have different valuations. For example, the cent will be rated as au-58, and the dollar ms-63.

The 1963 set looks like a put together mint state set not a PL set. It contains 1.1 ounces of silver, so about $20 USD in value.
The 1937 set is also a put together mint state set. If the coins grade MS63-64, the set is worth $250 to $400 USD. Nice set.
Edit to add: I would keep the sets intact as is.

As you stated earlier, if selling to the Canadian market, it's a no brainer to have them graded by ICCS.
It boggles my mind why PCGS or NGC is recommended for this.
