I promise photos to follow . Kennedy accented hair or ,, The wounded eagle of Sacagawea. In the original mint cello are the Kennedys still plentiful ? Making only the absolute finest of any value to come ? And the wounded eagle of course the same way . Still in its original mint packaging . And of a seemingly very high grade . Spectacular to view fresh from a postal commerative box . Where do you feel the higher values are, or will increase the most ?? Thanks for your assistance, opinion in advance .
1964 Kennedys were hoarded as soon as they came out, assuredly millions of them. In subsequent years, ‘65-70, the 40% Halves were also saved/collected in large numbers, again, also millions. People CRH today for any of these that somehow make it back into circulation, most for junk silver melt, but @FV 50 cents acquisition with a range of $4.50-8.00 melt, this will always be a no-brainer. The very best have been slabbed and/or squirreled away. These are the ones that have the best investment curve. Circulated, read that: lesser-grade Kennedys, will increment in value very slowly. The best you can really hope to get would be the silver proofs for any given year. It’s a full-time job looking for them. The mint is still punching them out. Good luck.
This is the Sacagawea, shes beatiful ! The few Mark's visible in pics are on the packaging Tried to show the" wounded eagle " gouge the best I could . Cell phone camera isnt the greatest .
A simple search of "Sold" coins from auctions and eBay, is the best way to help determine current values. I see you just joined CT, so welcome.
Thank you ! I'd like to see what people think. Ebay I can check if graded ,or rough . Dont see any sealed yet .
without being graded, Id say count on middle MS/PR, 64-65 money in a sale after that point it's a gamble for potential buyers, and lowballers at 62-63 money for offers. packaging is packaging. someone might value that into it a little bit more, but the money is in the grade of the coin, and if the Kennedy can get cameo or deep cameo or not. the packaging, meh. it's packaging.
Thank you . That's the thing on the JFK that wonders me . 65 $85- vs Deep cameo 69$25,000 I really wonder where I am on the spectrum.
I appolagize . I kept pushing the sealed packages incorrectly toward grade . I t was meant to be heard but I should have said about these coins are very well struck . I believe early in the process. Clean detailed .
Do you feel the mint package would help the coin when received by the grading company ? Since there is a large perspective factor in grading . Merely a true question I haven't wanted to remove them for that reason .
that's the thing, when it's graded it's clear exactly what it is, when it's in the original packaging, it's a gamble on what it is until it gets graded. Everyone thinks their own coins are beautiful and will grade highly. A prospective buyer will generally think "I want a good deal, I'm not paying for PR66, when it might not make PR66 in a slab." and that's even if it looks like a PR68. Opinions are subjective. when we want to sell it, it's the best coin, when we want to buy it's ok. Sometimes the packaging can hurt a coin in the long run if left in there. I'd say if you were to submit it, no, the packaging really wouldn't matter much, they might take the postmark on the sacagawea dollar and allow you to get a first release label (at additional cost) if it doesn't show signs of tampering (the postmark is the day of the coin release in 2000) But if you don't trust yourself to mishandle a loose coin, you certainly can send it in, in the packaging ad they can take it out and return the packaging for a small fee with the coins. The Third Party Grading company is supposed to be an objective opinion by an outsider, neither a buyer or a seller, on what the coin grades at, it takes the "I think it's this" and "I think it's that" mostly out of the discussion. I guess some people are into the packaging, Personally I'm a coin collector. I can take or leave all the envelopes, lenses and boxes and inserts that come with the coins.
Two thoughts on packaging…1, some people, like myself, have Mint sets, MS and Proof, special mint sets and commemorative issues. If I were to sell any of them the original packaging helps identify as authentic. I remember when some of the sets were in plastic holders that disintegrated over the years, the envelopes going off-white, the boxes now with dog-eared corners and missing end flaps. They are aging as much as I am. Nostalgic, to look back. …and 2, the ones I don’t sell will remain with my family and also be gifted to close friends. The original packaging goes a long way underscoring the intent of gifting them. Many of the sets have withstood the ravages of time and remain a beautiful and striking present for any special occasion.
Thank you for your reply ! I think it's amazing that not only does every coin have a story ,but EVERY coin has a story !
