I have acquired 8 coin sets from Kenya all dated 1973 and containing 7 coins from 5 shillings to 5 cents. They are all proof versions of each coin. The book says that there were only 500 of these sets produced and because they are so rare I cannot actually find another set that has sold either at auction or on eBay so am struggling to set a realistic price. Can anyone help? Thanks
Well, I've got a ballpark figure. My 1991 Krause has a value of $140 - adjusted for inflation is $385. It does seem fairly valuable.
Thanks. My standard catalogue world coins 1901 to 2000 says $275 but it would be nice to actually find one that has sold.
These are beautiful coins. One issue is that foreign coins generally will sell less from the book price in US markets. Although only 500 sets were produced the survival rate is going to be incredibly high. NGC says $45 for the 5 shilling. $30 1 shilling. $35 2 shilling. $25 ten cent. $25 5 cent. $35 25 cent. $25 50 cent. That's $220 total for high retail. However, those prices are for PF 65 coins and these appear much better. (68,69,70) So they are worth more.
