Compare to eBay sold listings and you'll see that most of those sell for $2-$5.

Edit: links didn't work...just search each president and select "sold listings" on eBay and you'll find the data.

 

I know individual coins very, most are proof 69 Cams, think they
would have more value then $2 - $5 the plastic there in is worth more then that
...LOL, and really dont trust ebay all that much...LOL

 

If it was one sale, then maybe. But there are many sales that are at $5 each or less. Whatever it costs to grade does not matter (dealers make their money on the PF/PR 70 examples and then dump the 69s for whatever they can get).

Another poster mentioned seeing these at local coin stores for $5 each (I've seen that too). These are some of the most common and least popular coins; you might be able to squeeze out a bit more, but in my experiences getting $5 each will be a win (as I know plenty of people that won't even offer more than face at $1).

 

Right now I can go on eBay and buy some PF 69s for $6.50 each with free shipping. So that pretty much sets the ceiling on prices.
You don't need to trust eBay, but many do and the prices there (especially for common coins) will often set the market (the majority of dealers and collectors will not pay more than what something can be currently bought
for on eBay).

If it were me, I wouldn't waste my time trying to sell them. I'd give them to YN's as gifts.

I've sold things on eBay and the costs are very high - between the eBay commission (at the time it was 9%, not sure what it is now) and the Paypal commission (at the time it was 3% + $0.30) and the shipping costs (which are going up in price today!), I not only did not break even, I lost money.

Then there's the hassle and your time. Can't put a price tag on that.

Maybe find a dealer in your area, call him, email him pics and ask him what he's willing to pay for the lot. You save on shipping costs and eBay & Paypal commissions.

As others have said, do an eBay search for these specific items, then scroll down to the bottom of the categories on the left and look for the heading "Show only" and click on the box for "Sold items." Then on top you can sort by price.

(If you want to shock yourself you can click the box for "Completed Listings" and all those in red are those that didn't sell, those in green sold. There will be lots of red.)

Do the math to see how much you would make on eBay before going through with listing them.

Another idea is to list them on Craigslist (again, first do a search to see if they are bought/sold in your area). For safety, always meet in a busy public place when selling on Craigslist.

I'm new to CoinTalk so I don't know if anyone buys or sells anything here, but, maybe that's another avenue to explore.

eBay and Paypal charge so much and retail shipping prices for packages have gone up so much that you have to expect to walk away with 50% of what your sale price is IF YOU'RE LUCKY! eBay sucks. eBay works for large volume sellers who get low commission fees because they sell so much. I wish there were a more cost effective platform for us little guys.

 

Those look like good raffle items for the next coin meeting.

 

That looks like a MAJOR error on the 1978-S Ike proof.

Unless the 2x2 is the wrong size.

 

It looks like it's just in a small flip (maybe half dollar size) and not struck on a smaller planchet.

 

Not really, I see them frequently around $5 apiece.

I edited that when I realized it. I have a cold.

 

They might go well on a garage sale if you will be having one.

 

I think he already knew that!

63 for what? You only need 58 for 20,000 posts. Now, you have me wondering. Hmmm?

Chris

 

He edited the comment after I posted my original reply.

 

It was 63 when he made that post...now it’s lower since more posts have been made.

 

I type slowly!

Sometimes that is best to prevent mistyping. The rabbit doesn’t always win the race.
