The 1893S alone is worth the current asking price.
How high will it go?

I think conventional wisdom says you're much better off selling coins individually. I wouldn't be surprised if the seller gets reamed as compared to the actual value of the whole set. Then again maybe he might get lucky and have a couple of wealthy bargain hunters get in a bidding war.
Edit: Also the seller said, "usually you will have to pay a 15-22% buyer's premium from one of the major auction houses."
While this isn't a lie, it's misleading. The buyer premium affects the seller more than the buyer. If the market values a coin at $1000, it will be bid up to 869.57

I think $15K will be the top end for this sale.

Would you honestly put out that kind of money on something that you could not examine in person?.

Less than $12000, if there are no fakes then someone got a smashing deal.

Wow. if I'd thought I could have gotten it this cheap I would have sold something. (Ok, lots of things...)
Someone got a great deal.

Yeah, I only wish I had 12 grand to plop down like that. For those that do they have a huge advantage over other Ebayers. A large collection like that should be sold bit by bit for sure.

I wonder if it was a regular collector or a dealer that bought it. I think he would have been better off going to Heritage with it. Even with higher seller's commissions I bet he would have made more with them. They probably could have helped him determine the best way to market them as well (i.e. whole set or coin by coin).
