I didn't even mention the 12 - 1oz Krugerrands.
They plan on selling the Krugerrands for sure as they have no attachment to them.
The Eagles, are still up in the air, but yes, they understand the difficulty in making this decision. They have some debt, they have grown kids.etc etc. "Dad" was well off and enjoyed sharing his money. I think this is a way "Dad" planned on continuing to give, even after he passed.over 15 years ago now.
My job is simply to give them all the options and let them decide. It's a learning experience for me too and I have no skin in the game.
Thank you so far for all the input.

Can you get us some dates? There are some lower mintage AGEs that bring significant premiums. Particularly the fractionals.
I'd be happy to help if you can provide a list of dates and strike type (PR vs MS). Good luck!

BH1964 thanks for the offer.
In the Blue OGP cases, both sets are 1996 and Proof.
All coins below are MS I believe, not proof.
1 - Paper 2x2 = 1993 1 oz
1 - Paper 2x2 = MCMLXXXVI (1986) 1 oz
Capital holders
1 Set of MCMLXXXVI (1986)
1 Set of MCMLXXXVII (1987)
1 Set of MCMLXXXVIII (1988)
1 Set of MCMLXXXIX (1989)
1 Set of MCMXC (1990)
1 Set of MCMXCI (1991)
1 Set of 1992
1 Set of 1993
1 Set of 1994
1 Set of 1995

Sure, I'll look through your list and post some results. You know gold has been on a run so while the prices are high, the premiums may be a bit lower.
Regardless, the 1/2oz MS 1991 piece is a biggie. Worth 5x melt in 69. Also, all of these are older AGEs. Your 1986 set is an inaugural year set and will always be a winner.
I'll let you know what I can find out.

Well here's a brief summary: If any of the MS pieces would go 70 at a top TPG (PCGS, NGC, CACG) then they're worth grading. The key is knowing if they have a chance at 70 which many of them probably don't. So here are the ones that go multiples of melt (some many multiples) at MS70: The 1/10 oz dates are 1986 & 1988. The 1/4 oz dates are 1986, 1988, 1990 & 1995. The 1/2 oz dates are 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991 & 1995. The 1 oz dates are 1986, 1988, 1992, 1994 & 1995. The proofs might be better sold in OGP. This is a quick rundown, hope it helps! Good luck! Edit: Removed comment on MS69. Edited by BH1964

So to recap your statement about the coins being discussed:
All 1/4oz are worth grading if they can get MS69 or Higher.
The other dates and denominations you mention are worth grading if they can reach MS70.
Keep the proofs in OGP.
I think that sums it up correct?
I will take a harder look at them this week and see if any have a chance for those grades.
Thanks again for all your help, I will keep everyone posted on how they decide to move forward.

Thanks again for all the help here.
I stopped in again and looked at the coins you mentioned. I think a couple have a shot at 70. Let me ask these few questions first.
If the coin is perfect, do finger prints take away from that 70 grade?
What magnification do they use to check out coins?
I personally have a couple 70 silver eagles and a gold eagle in 70.
The 70 eagles have plenty of issues with my 10x.
When I purchased my 70 gold coin, the dealer had a few, I looked them all over and I purchased the only one with zero blemishes. The other two "70's" I found some blemishes....all 3 gold were CACG.
With that said, some of these coins in this thread are clearly out of 70 range, but a select few have less blemishes than other 70's I have seen in person.
Is a 70 coin truly blemish free with a 10x?

Update so far.
I stopped with the family at the local coin shop today. They sold off the 11 - 1oz Krugerrands as they had no attachment to them and they didn't really even know about them. They sold off 2 - 1oz gold eagles that were loose in 2x2 flips, they were no where near perfect. They sold off a handful of regular proof sets. All in all, they got a hefty sum of money.,,and they still have plenty more for later.
I will be sending 3 gold eagles for grading that I think have shot at 70. "Why not"? I told them, and they agreed.
We shall see, I will keep you posted.

Is a 70 coin truly blemish free with a 10x? I retracted the 69 comment. Only a few of the 1/4 ounce pieces have significant premiums at 69. 10X magnification is too much for grading. 3X is plenty with 5X being the max. Very few 70 graded coins would be totally flawless at 10x. |
