1991 Mount Rushmore 3-Coin Gold/Silver Set – Value?

I’m looking for a value estimate on a 1991 U.S. Mint Mount Rushmore 3-coin commemorative set ($5 gold, $1 silver dollar, and clad half). The coins are still in their capsules and the original display case and appear mint/like new with no visible wear. No COA or outer packaging. Not graded, and I’m not sure if they’re proof or uncirculated.

Any thoughts on current value would be appreciated.

Cool set to own if I may say so! I researched it and saw none in stock. Try ha.com or Ebay? Here is just one seller's price. 1991 Mount Rushmore 3 Coin Proof Set with $5 Gold

 

check this out https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nk...th+$5+Gold&_sacat=0&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1

 

on eBay they have SOLD for around $1200 right now.
FYI
The $5 coin has 0.2419 oz of Gold, $1 coin has 0.7734 oz of Silver
Which is were it gets most of its value nowadays.

 

That is an uncirculated set. There were 31,959 of the gold $5 made in uncirculated finish with 111,991 made in proof. The silver dollar in unc. was 133k made vs 738k made in proof. The proof finish was more popular but the Uncs are always lower mintage. Silver and gold are so high right now the mintages don't factor in to the numismatic value much at this point.

At this moment the bare melt value of the $5 is $1,231.51 and the silver dollar melt value is $64.64. The half dollar is clad and worth about $15. At bare minimum the set is worth $1300+. Like anything else if it needs to be sold this very second, expect low ball offers from people who would be looking to flip to re-sell at a profit. Or, you could sell it yourself and cut out the middle man but will take time to find the right buyer who wants it for their collection. It's a very busy coin year this year with US mint products so not everyone will be looking to buy a 1991 set with budgets already stretched to the limit.

 

You have an Uncirculated set. I have a double set, Proof and Uncirculated, in a wooden box as it came from the mint. I bought it the secondary market at less than the issue price.

Sadly these commemorative coins have been dead as collectors’ items for years. The value is based upon the spot price for gold and silver. The dealer buy prices are under melt, and they sell them for 2 or 3 percent above melt.

You can’t blame the dealers for paying less than melt prices because that’s the market. They have to make money to stay in business. They also need profits to pay for their living expenses. As a retired dealer, I’ve have the experience.

 

I would pay $1000 if I was to buy it myself.
