Do you think the Dime / Quarters and Halves warrant grading and entombment

 

Believe it or not this is the FIRST Mint set I bought and so ... I do not think I would be able to tell a high grader from a dog ... a dog with a star woo hooo and thats a maybe as of late with NGC grading ...

 

Your thoughts

the obv seems a lil dark and unapealing. but i dont mind the rev at all.

I would suggest that you pass on certification for these coins for at least three reasons. The first is that while the coins are nice for the issue, they are not all that nice when compared to other issues. Additionally, you wrote about this purchase on November 18, but on November 28 you already had the set listed on the NGC and PCGS BST boards for sale or trade, which indicates to me that you do not want to keep them and any certification will only serve to complicate a sale. Lastly, your BST posts indicate that you are willing to accept trades so that you can pursue your main interests.

 

My advice would be to simply and quickly sell the set in order to funnel the money toward your collecting goals.

As usual your advice is probably spot on ... Thanks
