<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SchwaVB57, post: 2674406, member: 84518&quot;]As for your question on Crown Coins, I cannot speculate since I do not have any. I do feel your question is tied to the scenario below on US type coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You are correct that it seems that the price received when selling off a collection is usually less than list price or even the amount originally paid.</p><p>I see many older collections that began in the late 50&#039;s early 60&#039;s when silver coins still freely circulated coming on the market, in most cases because of a collector dying or needing to liquidate the collection due to monetary needs later in life. Because of the volume of available inventory and the ability to sell anywhere in the world with a post on line; supply and demand dictates lower retail prices. But the biggest reason in my experience is thousands of dollars in silver and gold was retired from circulation 50 plus years ago at face value by many individuals. </p><p>So, a dime of face retired in 1960, most people would be happy and thrilled to get $1.00 or up to $1.25 each. Especially when $5.00 face would return $50.00 to $75.00 a roll. Being children of depression era parents, these individuals hoard coins, not collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
