Threadjack Alert!

 

Hey Chad, I've got a PF-70 state quarter that I wrapped a Barbie doll dress around.. you want it?

[pendragon1998]

What's frightening is that I was considering posting that exact same bunny picture just moments before I saw the post.

[MAULEMALL]

Not to bring this thread back on topic but Heratige has this 56 set up for sale for the next 24 hrs A couple nice coins in it

[WaxonWaxov]

Congrats on the set!! Be sure to post some pics when it comes back.

 

Just curious, why won't they include the token? If you send in a sealed set, seems like they should do it. Wonder if anyone's listening??

 

Chad, remind me not to buy any unopened sets from you!!

 

Just got an email from Scott Schechter at NGC saying "...we do on encapsulate the embossed seal that came with 1955-1964 Proof Sets"

 

I don't understand why not, but oh well.

I believe I read an "Ask NGC" reply to a similar question awhile back, and the gist of it was that paper products are possible contaminants and therefore unsuitable for the holder environment. The NGC holder insert is an exception because NGC selects the paper specifically to be inert while also placing it in its own compartment in the holder.

 

I wish I could recall where I saw this. Perhaps some kind person from NGC could save my bacon and confirm or deny...

I don't work for NGC, Beijim, but consider your bacon saved. Here is the paper thread.

Good man! I owe you breakfast, bacon included.

Got to admit, looking at sealed envelopes on ebay I have wonder if they were scams or not...but I guess the bottom line is like what was said Wax said, if you like the coins, it a good coin.

[WaxonWaxov]

Very nice grades if you ask me!

[WaxonWaxov]

So what do you guys think would be a reasonable asking price for this set?

[Bruceswar]

Sell the coins seperately, I think you will get more that way The biggest score was the Half. If you want to keep the set together, look at your total cost in the coins, then mark them up 20% and you should still be within the price range of selling sets.

[MunkyMan95]

If you do break them up, I'd like either the half or the cent. Let me know.

[HaydenTubbs]

Unless I'm mistaken,didn't he say that he was sending the set in to be put a multi-holder?

[Bruceswar]

He did but I thought that was after the fact of being sent.

[WaxonWaxov]

Yes, they're in a multi-coin holder. Well, at least they're supposed to be. The package arrives this afternoon via FedEX.

 

 

[HaydenTubbs]

This set probably would have been worth more if the coins were in separate holders.

[WaxonWaxov]

Well, NGC messed-up and did not multi-coin slab them.

 

I've decided to sell them individually....

 

here they are...

 

 

[MunkyMan95]

Good luck!
