I think you would need to have grades for "all" of the items in order to get an accurate value,IMHO. John1  |

That's a hard one to answer without pictures, etc. I think you have a good start and check numismedia FMV for a reference. I think you will find that some items might be good prices and others just ok. It sounds like you are on the right path, though.
When you buy collections you may get better prices by bundling (taking the whole lot), so keep that in mind. If the seller had to sell them individually, that would really take some time, so a discount for the entire lot may be in order.
Good Luck!

Some items look like they may be on the high side but the major factor, already mentioned by John1, is condition.

I know we need grades, I am trying to get them, but would the lot be worth $350 or maybe not?

I'm a suspicious person so the first thing comes to mind is why this wide variety of coins? Who is doing the grading? How accurate is the grades? What are you using to find values? Or who is placing those prices on those coins?
There is a large assortment and variety of coins in that list. Might be a good deal but as I said I'm a suspicious type person and just wonder what is going on with this assortment.

I would pass on that whole collection to be honest. There is not a lot there with much value. The currency in particular is overpriced if the grades are accurate. But, collecting is all about what you want and like. I am mostly a dealer, that is the main reason I would pass on this. If you like it and trust the seller, go for it.

This is a rather odd "collection". Strange, there is a capped bust dime and a bicentennial quarter. It really depends on what you want to do with this lot. Are you going to resell it or keep it. If you are going to keep it then many of these items are not worth much, especially the currency. There is not enough silver in this lot to make it worth much. If you are buying this from a friend then I think you could go lower. Otherwise, I would pass on this lot.

Pay $300 max but better at $275 in my opinion.
