So I've got a somewhat big collection here I'm trying to sell very soon..

Hoping you guys can tell me if I have a coin that's worth a lot, and a estimated value of the collection... Appreciate the help guys -- luckily they are all graded for me already! Going to start posting them in a moment, thanks!

So do I. WELCOME mofoeskimo.

 

Ok, finding most of these myself.. Guess I'll just post the ones that I can't find. Like.. 1983 XF jefferson nickel --- cud error.. I have @ $10, that about right?


So far the best ones I've found --

1996 american silver eagle
1922-S XF silver dollar
1960 MS-65 quarter

 

Ah didn't know I'd get such a response :] I'll post some pics of the ones that are stumpin me

 

Sorry this is the best quality cam I got at the moment... Don't know if you can see the slight discoloration on parts of my 96 silver eagle... How much would ya say this is worth?




Has a kinda brownish tint on some parts...

 

No added premium for this. Just bullion value.

 

What would ya say is the grade on this one??

F 15?

;[ dernit thought the 96 ones were 'rare'?

 

You're right.... I spoke too soon. They seem to be going for about $45 or so on ebay.

 

How much is the bullion value btw do ya know off hand?

edit:: Oh cool!

First time I've known something about a coin, haha :] pretty cool

 

This is the site I use to calculate bullion values:

your attachment is not working for me. Is it working for anyone else?

 

The melt value of the silver eagle is whatever the current spot price is or I think right now would be about $32.50 but like they said, the 1996 do sell for a nice premium

 

Are you related to her:

 

Hrmmm, you have a similiar photo style to one of our newfound friends:



Which is a good thing, because her auction still has a couple of days left and we've already bid her auction up to $11.00 for a coin that is probably worth $0.20, just because we like the photo.

Anyway, just a couple of tips:

The Silver Eagles are usually worth a few dollars over melt, except for the 1996, which is worth a bit more to some people. To me, they're all bullion coins, but some people are willing to pay more for the key dates.

You might want to invest in a pair of cotton gloves. You're probably looking to sell these, so you might not care, but when you handle an ASE without gloves, it will develop black spots after a few years where you touched it, even on the edges. I have a few older ones that I bought that have such marks and they are quite unsightly. Yes, I know I just finished saying they're just bullion coins, but I like mine either blast white, or naturally toned...

ETA: Drat! Detecto beat me to it on the photo...

 

lolol, no relation :]

And yeah I'm selling half of them off so I doubt gloves will be necessary... Especially since I only pulled them out to take the pics ;]



I'm meeting up with a collector later today -- Any tips on selling in terms of gettin the most bang for my buck? Going to keep just a few, the two silver dollars in particular, to sell individually... But I'm gunna sell off all my coins worth $3 or more... Which is everything laying in front of those two boxes

 

you could probably get more bang for your buck if you piece the collection out and sell each coin individually
