First year this coin was produced, it is in very nice condition. To my eye it is perfect condition. I do not want to take it out of the case as I do not want to damage the surface of the coin. Any ideas on the value? This is all new to me and I've found prices ranging from really low to really high. Thanks in advance.
How come these are selling for $200-$400? What's the difference between mine and theirs? http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_dca...ear=1986&_nkw=1986+proof+silver+eagle&_sop=13
If you get it graded and it comes back pf70 then you are stoked, if its pf69 then you will get melt value plus grading fee roughly for it. It is worth a shot if you think it's perfect.
If I remember correctly greysheet bid was around $60, but that price also means it comes with all of the government packaging.
The lower price is a bullion price, the higher price a collector price. Bullion worth is a set price governed by the silver market. The collector price is never a set price. It's what someone, anyone, is willing to pay for it. When selling at the collector price, your on a fishing expedition. Your question is: Is there anyone out there willing to pay the price I'm asking? The answer varies every time you ask. Hense the great variety of pricing at the higher end.
Excellent, that is very helpful information. Is there any particular coins a beginner should try to find? I am interested in coin collecting because they will always maintain the current value of the material used to produce the coin. As I am sure much other people would like to do, I would like to make some money in the long run, what could I do to get the ball rolling in the right direction?
Buy books and educate yourself. This will help you in your purchasing. Odds are fairly good though most people will lose money on their collections when they go to sell.
