I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how much this set of coins is worth. I have a US Mint Set from 1913. It looks just a proof set but I know those were not released this early so someone must have put it together. The penny,nickel, and dime are unmarked. The quarter is marked d and the half dollar is marked s. Thank you!
According to Numismedia: the 1913-s half in G-4 condition is worth $22; the 1913-d quarter in G-4 condition is worth $13; the 1913 dime in G-4 condition is worth $3; the buffalo nickel, assuming it's a philadelphia, is worth $8 in G-4 condition; and finally, the wheat cent is worth probably a buck or two. So, basically about $50 or so. If that was a 1913-s quarter, you'd have a couple thousand dollars worth on your hands.
the half and the quarter are a little better dates. you may get a little more than melt for them. Its hard to grade the coins with your photos. Dime would be worth melt.
All common coins someone put into a modern holder. The silver coins are worth melt, the nickel a $1-$2, and the cent maybe $.75 or $1.
http://cointrackers.com/tag-1913/ This website seems to think they are worth a lot more than you seem to think. Is there any truth to this site?
Then you need to look again because the prices listed on the web site you linked to are very close to the prices listed in post #4 of this thread.
There were no mint sets produced by the US Mint in 1913. This is simply a modern, aftermarket holder that has had a group of low grade coins placed into it. Value it at melt or just a little more and you will be fine.
Even if the coins are melt value and even if the set is "aftermarket," its still a neat set. That could have been some guy in 1913's pocket change. It certainly would have bought more then than the same denominations would today.
This is a great way to use up those Capital holders. I assume these are the most common coins for each denomination Up here on the rooftop I think I see a ... ( Using retail ) 1913 D Half Dollar in VG $23.00 1913 D Quarter in AG3 $10.00 1913 Dime in Fine $6.00 1913 Buffalo nickel Ty 1 in Fine $10.00 1913 Lincoln Cent in Fine $1.50 A used holder $3.00 $53.50 retail realistically the set shown is probably worth around $40.00 late edit: I did the same thing with several empty holders I had nothing better to do with better grade coins. I made a 1939 D set a 1934 D set with the dollar some same year/mint 1942-45 war years sets and a set like yours with Barber coins but I don't remember exactly which year without looking. I am also trying to complete a simple high grade 1964 phila set which just takes a little reminder to finish. Thanks for the reminder.
True, but that would play into the personal attachment value for the OP. If he/she were to sell it, the story wouldn't play a role in getting more money because of it, so he/she needs to know that. As consultants on this forum, our prime objective is to provide accurate information for all collectors of different levels.
