Hi, I am about to list about 168 ounces of silver coins on ebay as one entire lot...the weight value is appx. $2000. Would the collector value be more?
Hello & welcome ! As for the "worth" it all depends on the denominations, mint marks, condition , rarity & demand . Post some pictures or give us a list - we may be able to help more.
Without knowing what you have to sell, my reaction is that there is a high probability that you can make more money by grouping the coins into lots that are related in some manner such as mercury dimes, ASE's, silver halves, etc. Even breaking them into smaller unrelated lots could net more money because there are many fewer buyers with $2,000 to spend than $200 to spend. And if several coins have numismatic value above and beyond the bullion value, you would want to sell those separately too. Dumping them all into one lot seems like a mistake.
If your coins are pre '65 US silver"junk", & my math is right, you should have about $240 face value. If thats accurate, you should expect more like $2,500 or $2,600 for you stash. If you have some that better than junk, you should do better in breaking up the group.
The question is, what is the purity of those silver coins, as well what coins they are exactly. If they are all junk, i.e. holed, ruined, damaged, etc, yes, you might be better off sellign as a lot, but otherwise, takes a bit more of an effort to break it up.
Lot of Silver Coins going up for Ebay Thanks to all who answered my quest...I will take it all into consideration...This is a great site (CoinTalk)#
Just THINK. One, just one, 1916D Mercury Dime could be worth from $800 to $30,000. I suggest you stop and think of what you have. Get a Red Book and look up what you have. You could be giving away a fortune.
I would love to give you $2300 for that set, but I would tell you to look through it, and I'm sure that you will find something nice, I mean 10 pounds of silver, you should find a couple goodies!
Just imagine if they were ALL goodies. (I drool at the thought) but hey you might find a couple that you have to keep.
And if worse comes to worse, you just spend an hour looking at the designs of the old silver coins, never a bad idea! But I'm sure there will be something in there.
Okay, first, what kind of coins are they (i.e., what country) If they're US coins look for peace dollars and morgan dollars. I see you're new, and if you don't know what those are, just ask and we'll show you a picture!
