I have a penchant for tear stained wedding sets, failing that I also like sets with the plaque engraved with the names of the previous owners.
I have 2 sets that didn't have the card but they weren't engraved :(
Didn't you win that 03 wedding set on ebay the other day, AJ?

Do you want to sell/trade the spare 08 set Mate :drinks:
Ooooo I was thinking about gettin them graded but as it's you I'll have a think about it :winkextra:

That's not such a silly idea Mate.
They should all come back MS69-70, costs for slabbing and postage will cost you a fair bit tho.
From what I can gather it is about $40 a coin so a set will cost you maybe $240 to get graded
If you are doing this as a resale proposition I would have a real good look at what the sale prices for these coins in slabs are then do the Math.
If it looks like a winner then go for it :yahoo:
don't think it's that much for post 1969 or so

You'd likely have to ditch a couple of the toned one's that obviously aren't perfect and the rest would get MS66-MS68, the best at 69 and only MS70 if you're having a lucky week. Don't count your chickens.

I second this. I sent the 50c and 20c over from the 2009 set. The 50c got MS67, and 20c MS69. Couldn't really tell by looking at the coins front / back but i think the rims of the 50c brought it down.
Go Jeff, I can imagine ya boppin around the house to the old hooks :) love ya work mate :good:
Yes people I have been thinking about these things and yes it's a worry, but hope in years to come that even if I don't get to slab them they should still go ok as they're very nice coins. I hope that they are like some pre decimal where they get good money even if they aren't graded..but yes a lot better if they are..can I borrow ya CRYSTAL ball Unicorn :winkextra:

The "third" side of a coin is often overlooked by many people.
Especially on the 50cent coins, there is quite a large area there that can be affected :dash1:
My first set of these arrived today.
The 2002 set, they really are sexy coins.
Absolutely stunning :yahoo:
told ya, now good luck tryin to take a pic :winkextra:

It should be easy when I liberate them:diablo::good:

Albums :ok:
now those $1 will boost the bling in you dollar collection :) and I know of a grandaughter that would just LOVE the 5 cents for her collection..oh poppy your just the best :friends:
I notice that both the 20 and 50 cent coins in the 2004 set are pointy "A" coins :good:

Mmmm.. I thought pointies were the common ones in sets? Somebody did an analysis of the 4 different sets on one of the forums, and IIRC, double-pointy was the highest percentage.

Just bought the 2005 and 2006 sets :yahoo:
I only have to hunt down the 2007 set to have all of these sets.:angel:
I am not going to bother with the 2010 onwards sets as they are Proof sets and I already have the RAM proof coins for these years :ok:
I have an extra 2002 set that I am willing to swap for a 2007 Set :angel:
My Wedding sets are now complete.
