Hello! I was gifted these coins recently. Coins have all their original packaging and paperwork. I appreciate any insight into their value! Also if anyone has a recommendation for a buyer in the Atlanta area let me know -R
Welcome to the neighborhood! The presidential medals are not from the US Mint. Whether they are made of silver or not, they're only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. The Proof Set and the Mint Set are only worth a few dollars each. Chris
One troy pound of silver is 12 troy ounces, and at this evening's price, that's almost $200 worth of silver in the big medal. For the "half troy pound" one, you'll need to find out whether it's pure silver, sterling silver, or "layered in fine silver" (silver-plated); if it really is pure silver, it's worth half as much as the larger one. Welcome to CoinTalk!
Washington Mint is a private company that makes a lot of "collectible" junk. At least it's worth the silver content. Check eBay sold listing to see if any of them are actually SELLING for more.
Smaller medal says ".999 pure silver" on it so roughly half the price of the larger one as melt value, both are .999. as said the big one $200, smaller one $100 (keep in mind when you sell them they will give you less for their profit ect. there's always a story) Those could be sold pretty much immediately to any "we buy gold and silver type business" just shop around for a good price, none of them will pay you over what it's worth though, or even spot price, they want their cut. LOL The mint and proof set. I dunno like maybe $5-$7 each probably. Coin shop dealers won't even pay anything for those year ranges, they will suggest breaking the set and spending them normally, or they will just give you face value of the coins for those years. I think the silver is the big score for you on this one, and for free? Cha-ching!
It does, but frequently they'll say that in the big print and then say ".999 fine silver layered" or something like it in the small print. I've seen quite a few 1/2 or 1-troy-pound items advertised on eBay that used that trick. (And I'm talking about the COA that came with the item, not just the eBay listing.)
