Hey all this is one of many Whitman books I obtained and I am trying to establish a logical price range this thing may be worth. It has 34 coins in total Missing 2 altogether. I really have no idea what something like this might be worth. Also if anyone has insight into the following: Whitman: Great Britain Minor Type Set almost complete Whitman: John F Kennedy Halves 13 coins in total Not looking for an exact price but a ballpark. Thanks.
Hard to tell grades on those coins without a closeup of the front and back. The 1912 Peso is a surprisingly tough one to find in any grade. Ditto for the 3 1936 Commemoratives in any grade without saltwater damage. Tentative value is in the $150-$200 range.
Looks like there are some nice coins in the set. You probably need to grade and look each coin up. The value will be different on each coin.
One thing to keep in mind is that there is a high demand just for the album. I have rountinly sold the empty whitman Philippine albums for $50-$70 each. As far as the coins go, most are not worth much. Your value lies in the Alfonso Peso and the commemoratives. The 1912-S is over rated in lower grades because it is extremly tough in higher grades and would not bring much from a dealer or a seasoned USPI collector.
