Opened Proof Sets

Once you open that set up in my opinion the only proper thing to do if you are going to sell them is state that you opened them or put them in separate coin flips but unless you have some key coins you usually just devalued the set as if I buy a opened set I wont pay as much plus I'm worried that the person fingered them up and then worse tried to clean them up causing scratches.. On the other end in all my years of selling on ebay and other places I am still surprised at what someone who wants a coin bad enough will pay so who knows.. list them on ebay and make sure to list any and all scuffs if any and post nice big pics! so you don't get a ninny buyer who makes selling them seem like the worst choice..

what you want for them and what do you have?

I agree. The truth is, many people collect just one series, not all of them.

For example... Suppose a person is building a set of Jefferson nickels and wants to include the proofs. That person has no interest in any other denominations.

They could spent $20 on the full proof set, but then have to worry about selling the other coins. After sale of the other coins, the net cost of the nickel may be $2, but time is money as well.

Or they could spend $5 to get just the nickel. The collector would be paying for convenience of not having to hassle with the remaining coins.

the best place to sell, sice I buy from there is craigslist, I tried oodle.com and ebay classifieds and its not the same.
