muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7194 Posts	Posted 09/17/2011 3:08 pm Take photographs of your 1916 d, 1921, and 1921 d and post them for this forum to see. also check your 1942 dimes to see if they are a 2 over 1 variety. With these visible examples we could better make an evaluation of your set. Report this Post to the Staff

mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1888 Posts	Posted 09/17/2011 5:08 pm There is no accurate way to evaluate a set like that or even a random list of dates without knowing the condition of some of the key coins in the set. There are lots of collectors doing their darndest to finish just such a set as you describe. It's almost guaranteed that, if you were to sell them online through a venue such as ebay, a better overall price would be obtained by selling the better ones one-at-a-time. PICS please . . .

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 09/17/2011 5:20 pm The value of this entire set really boils down to the condition and authenticity of the 1916-d! In the grades you are talking about, it is worth probably 4x the rest of the set combined. It absolutely must be certified before selling. The 1921 p/d will add a bit of extra value in higher grades.

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 09/17/2011 5:54 pm Good pictures are essential to grading this set, you need to take obverse and reverse of the dates mention above, and the mint mark close up of the 16-d is a must. Oh! Report this Post to the Staff

JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 09/17/2011 6:10 pm Quote: selling strategy= dont sell it Totally agree. I bid on a complete set on ebay 3 yrs ago, with a low grade 1916-D; I gave up at $1600, and I think it was all about that coin... Report this Post to the Staff
vanbroj Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 09/17/2011 11:47 pm Most of the dates in this set prices are now determined by the price of silver. Report this Post to the Staff
