Nice set, Silverwolf.
I am trying to assemble the same, while set the limit of CAD 100 max for a coin.
But I need the coins in the best condition (in my opinion)
And basilica not in rush.
Someday will look for case and capsules from that set.

You did really well, I would be elated with that
price and those coins, with box and certificate.

1939-ms60
1949-ms60-62
1958-ms63-64
1964-ms63-64
1967-ms63-64

70 to 100 bucks depending on grades, most are melt value common date

So basically, what will be max reasonable price for this? I did buy this from the mint and the coins were basically au 55 to ms 60. I was very disappointed that the mint would sell this set, if I can remember around the $400.00 mark for that grade of coins. I could of stopped the collection but I was hoping that the next coin would be better, but it wasn't so. After I finished the subscription I felt ripped off and so I put it up for sell and luckily someone took it off my hands for a little over what I paid for it.:) This set in my mind would sell for around $120.00 to $130.00 and not a penny more. John100 is probably right with his numbers. I was a little generous with mine. Added a few bucks more because of the case and serial #'s for the set. Edited by jimper

Thank you for explain and clear review of the RCM's set. |

I really don't understand this set. If someone were to purchase one of these coins from the mint, do they have anything in place that would stop them from buying a lower grade coin from a dealer for melt value and returning that coin to get their $60 back to keep the one the mint originally sent in a higher grade?

I believe the melt value of silver was substantially higher in 2012, when this thread was started but I think you could still find this set for much cheaper than the mint sold it. With that being said, I don't know what would stop someone from playing the old switcharoo trick. Perhaps someone that bought the set could chime in as to whether or not there is a sticker similar to the BoC $5/$10 gold hoard coins?

That thought did cross my mind. Not just to return to the RCM, but to resell on ebay at a discounted price. Either way... If it can be done... |
