So these posted on craigslist. The seller would not provide any additional information other than what he provided in his listing. Any ideas on what a reasonable offer would be. 1. 250th Anniversary Birth 1982 George Washington Half Dollar 2.

A reasonable offer: Without more specific information about the individual items? - A buck (maybe two) for item 30, plus face value for all the non-silver, and 8.5X face for the silver. With good pictures and details - quite a bit more.
Agreed and I'll take it a step further. If the seller won't provide more information I'd have to stick with an offer of nothing.
That's exactly what I was thinking.....Good for the grade only. Needless to say, I wouldn't offer anything without a better description of the coins at issue. A pretty poor ad overall, kind of makes me wonder if the guy knows anything about coins or if they are in fact stolen property.
You could also assume it might be passed down to him/her and they don't want to sell on ebay. If you assume good on all but 30 and almost ignore 30 what would be the risk? If the deal is still available it could be worth the risk. Offer with the stipulation that if the seller wants more for them you would need to see the coins/ring. The fact that they are in Craig’s list is a good indication they want to move them quick because they want/need the money. Could be a 1909 S VBD and this seller may have no idea. Good Luck!
A word of warning... It has happened here in Phoenix more than once. A seller on Craigslist offers up a fantastic bargain like this, and when buyer shows up with CASH, gets robbed, usually from a vacant house or apartment. It happened just recently with very underpriced laptops.
