Pictures will help!

Don't handle any of the raw coins with your fingers if you did not know that already.

Bad time to sell silver prices are way down. Easiest thing to do to gage prices on the mint sets is to look at ebay to see what they are selling for. The 80's and early 90's Mint Sets will be disappointing. Your ASE's are probably going to be around $15 to $20 for the proofs less for the non-proofs - but again just take a look at ebay. If you have a 95 Proof ASE - that will be a different story. Wish I had even one of those! Best to ask about these things specifically by creating a numbered list with the specifics of each item.

I would be very interested to hear more about the dollar and see a picture of both sides!!! Any other paper currency you should ask questions about as well!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by Silver congressional coin so I will have to see what you say later


Sell on ebay as the holidays are around the corner - show all of the boxes and certificates.


BTW: I grew up in Up-State NY - (Liverpool).

Best Regards Darryl

 

most dealers are paying 3 dollars over spot for silver eagles. So around 13 bucks each except for 1996 which is around 30 to 35

1. put these in my intro by mistake soory for repeating them..

the 1993p's-1997p's all sell for over$100 are they really only worth $35?

 

Hello bootzilla,

Quite a collection! I'll do a little research tonight when I get home if someone does not come along first! I did not see the error dollar?

Darryl

 

thats at my moms i haven't even seen it yet.I also have proofset and the sets with P&D from 1989-1998(missing 1991) thanks for any help you give

 

They are worth much more than $35. You need to get a grey sheet to help you understand the value. You can search/google grey sheet and order a copy one verion old for a small amount of money. Don't sell 93 - 95 and 97 for that amount. I'll give you blue book values tonight which are not very accurate at this point with the changes in Silver prices.

Good Luck - it will be worth your time to look for the grey sheet copy.

 

thanks 656 i have doubles of the 1993-1997 so i'm planing on keeping one of each thanks for the grey sheet info.

 

I will give you the coin values magazine, values for your coins later after I finish my homework.

 

I did get one other thing that i can't find a value for anywhere.My dad was into the highlander series big time and he had a commemorative collection book with 5 nice looking silver coins one for each of the seasons 1-5 he paid $300 for it on special in 1997 I can take some pics if that would help .thanks for any help

 

I'm pretty sure they would be worth bullion , unless you could find a Highlander fan .

What he said... Probably not worth anything close to $300 assuming each coin is one ounce and silver is at about $10.40 an ounce This is one of those things you should sell as a collectible on ebay in the movie and entertainment collectibles section as well as a cross listing in the bullion section. A dealer isn't going to give you much for it.

 

to the forum Bootzilla.

 

I would say those would NOT be worth bullion unless you are trying to sell them to a dealer...and I would say that selling your coins (any coin) to a dealer is the worst way to sell a coin as they will always justify a lowball price regardless of the coin and its condition or rarity. I could walk in with a 15,000 coin and dealer will have a myriad of canned reasons why he can only give me 250.00.

I would say they would be worth less than 300...but if you find the right buyer you could probably get 200 on ebay...it might take longer to sell but you will get far closer to the value (on most coins) if you sell them to collectors and not to dealers.

 

I went to canandaigua with a 1995p&96p and 1989s&1992s,91 rushmore silv $,and 2 86 liberty,12 unsur 92 eagles(intube),10 95 eagles(intube) and a full tube of 90 eagles ,and a tube of canadian quarters.did this just to get an idea and the guy said he'd give me $604 does that seem right thanks for any help.Also was i the only one that couldn't get into the forum all day it wouldn't even load?

 

how many in a full tube?

 

20 unsurculated

 

So lets break this down:

42 One ounce unc. silver eagles = $440 (current Bullion value)
95P = $150 minimum
96P = $65
89S = $30
92S = $25
91 Rushmore = $25
2 - 86 Liberty's (Dollars ?) = $35
Tube of Canadian qtrs = No idea

$735 + qtrs - ebay/paypal fees = mid $600's is my guess so I would say the $605 offer isn't that out of line. I think you would really get more the $440 for the unc's on ebay and probably more for the 95. So, if you sell them yourself on ebay you will come out ahead of the offer on the table but you will have to deal with the sellers/shipping.

This is my take on it.

Good Luck ~ Darryl

 

thanks for the help i think i'm gonna monitor e-bay and see how things do.I'm not in a real hurry i'm using these to pay for my new 56in samsung dlp tv from shopnbc(my dads anniversery present to me and my wife)and it was 1350 and i have a year to pay.I'm gonna take some more pic today to start the cataoging process and i I'll post them.

 

Bootzilla,

Welcome to Coin Talk!

My advice to you would be to hold onto everything until about mid-February or mid-March if that is possible! Many folks have spent their' budgets already on Christmas and is hard to get the maximum value for coins and even Silver Bullion this time of year. I know all to well, as I lost well over $500 on some coins that I sold on eBay just before Christmas last year! Also, typically Bullion prices tend to rise after the first of the year and if you can put the coins on eBay when folks have started getting the Income Tax Refunds, then you might get much higher prices for them.


Good Luck...Frank
