Ok, my first post here, sorry if this is posted already somewhere. I have a chance to purchase a BU set of Washington ayes, 1932-1998 including the proofs. The 32s is a ms63 and the 32d grades around an ms60... Anyone have ideas to what the value is? Think I can pick it up around 3,000... Thanks for your thoughts!

you could compare them to past sales on ebay to give yourself an idea of the market value. |

Are all of the other silver washingtons around ms 60 to 63 range? it makes a difference if they are all circulated.

Yeah, the condition of the washingtons from the 30's will determine this. Several issues are worth hundreds of dollars each in BU, but are worth maybe double melt value even in VF. If the set is all BU say average 63 for the silvers, 63+ clads, and decent looking proofs I think its worth well over $3000.
The 36-D is more valuable than the 32-S at a certain grade range, at around $500 - $800, but is worth about $25 in VF

A complete BU set would be worth much more than 3000. You are going have to make sure the '32-D,S, '34-D and '36-D are all genuine. Make sure all the coins, especially the ones from the 30's, are all BU and not slider AU's.

I'd get any coin worth more than a couple hundred bucks graded and certified as a condition of the sale. For $3000 its worth being cautious.

Also, where are you purchasing the coins from? dealer, friend, craigslist, etc. may make a difference. Also I would try to offer like $2600 or more to see if you can haggle at all.

Well if it has all the big die errors too like 34 DDO, all the different mottos of 34, a 37 DDO, the 42 DDO and DDR, plus the 50 D/S and the 50 S/D this set is worth well well wellllllll over 3k even if the whole set was just AU-50 If its missing all the big errors then everything expecially the rarer dates MUST be MS60 or better for you to be getting a OK deal. |

I am going to examine it closely later this week but yes they all are supposed to be ms 60 or better.... No errors in there but supposedly proofs and all others.... Been contemplating stopping my Morgan attempt and putting those funds towards this... No way I'll ever be able to get a ms set of morgans, this qtr set will be one to hold on to....

To answer the question about who I'm buying from, it's a dealer that I met at a coin show... I've purchased several times from him and feel he's straight up...
