    Should I break open my Proof Sets?

    in US, World, and Ancient Coins

    Posted

    Just acquired a bunch of proof sets from 1969 through 2001. The Proof Sets are seemingly worth very little as a whole, and the money/opportunity seems to be in finding a PR60 or PR70 among them.

     

    I dont have much of an eye for grading yet and I'm wondering what to look for when deciding to A. Crack open the proof packaging and/or B. send a coin for grading. Even with a novice eye, I can see some imperfections that would warrant not wasting my time with grading. But quite a few look nearly flawless to my eye and have what I'd consider to be a PR70 look.

     

    Any suggestions are much appreciated. Id hate to sell these sets for $5 - 10 and have a gem among them.
