Need opinions on value of my collection

[gwakeley]

Everything I have is basically junk silver besides the proof ASE the Morgan's etc. I've hit hard times and need some quick cash and was wondering what yous guys think a fair for both parties price is. I was thinking In the 350$ range

Condition, condition, condition... it all depends on condition. I mean, we really don't need to see pictures of the proof washington quarter, the proof ASE, the olympic silver dollar, or the 40% halves, but it would be nice to see pictures of most of the others in order to give a valid estimate.

On the basic base coins, use the COINFLATION melt prices for each, at least you'll have a base price to look, for comparisons. Or, get ahold of a RED BOOK, and be able to grade each coin independently.

For instance years ago I made an excel sheet and listed each coin by denomination and graded using Red Book.

Next I made a column of current RB value and lastly extended a column of totals.

This form is updated annually for insurance purposes.

Pictures are kept and are updated by new additions.

At any time I can review running Sub-Totals by denomination and overall Grand Totals.

#3 above is correct. You need to run a total by quantity (and not dollar amounts) to arrive at a grand total.

I doubt that anyone will pay full dollar value for your collection.

Therefore you need to determine what reduced dollar value you will be willing to accept.

Hope this helps.

Anyone in the market to bail you out will make their own evaluation to determine if your anal pick is in the ball park.

If it's out of whack, expect reasonable offers.

You may find that there are people buying coins for the silver or gold content only.

Others may purchase coins selectively based on grading to complete collections.

He said it's basically junk silver, so "condition, condition, condition" doesn't really matter. It's gonna sell for about melt plus a small premium over melt on the silver dollars (common dates). Whatever that adds up to - I don't have the current price of silver in front of me.

 

[coinsareawesome]

He never specified what was junk silver other than "proof ASE, Morgans, etc.," so that means it's pretty much up to the OP to figure out what is relevant to take pictures of and what isn't.

Whatever it may be worth, be expected to get so many lowball offers there on craigslist that you may just wish to hold on to them. Let enough people know you are desperate for cash and plenty of snakes will contact you with such offers.

I probably wouldn't accept less than $125-$150.

I was going to offer him $50 for everything. You know, because I'm a snake, oh, and I want him to get a Charter Membership.

I will up the ante to 55 dollars....

 

[coinsareawesome]

Let's make this interesting... $55.01, because I like sneaking in the lowest bid possible! (Just kidding)

 

[kingskid1611]

60.00 and that includes me buying him a charter membership.....
