Joecontois Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 08/26/2026 7:58 pm Hi. I've been away from the community for a while after having another child 7 years ago. I had completed several collections right when she was born, and then I basically stopped collecting. I've reached a point where I accept selling a lot of my collection. I'm not sure if it's okay to ask opinions on approximate value here, but that is the purpose of this post. If I posted it in the wrong place, hopefully it can just be moved to the right place. As the title says, it's a complete circulated collection. I took pictures of 10 of the best dates. There are issues with 4 of the older coins. 17D reverse has pitting, 27S looks cleaned, 29D has some rim damage, and 33S has some residue on the surface. The 38D looks different than the rest also; not sure what that is about. Lastly, it's awesome that we don't have to resize pictures anymore! 1916-1935 1936-1947 1916-1947 1916 1916D obverse 1916S obverse 1917D obverse 1917S obverse 1921 1921D 1921S 1938D 1919 Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4491 Posts	Posted 08/26/2026 9:28 pm There is no extra value in selling the collection as a whole. Your circulated common dates are going to be about melt $22 to $25 each. If you took the common dates to a dealer, they will most likely offer about 15% under melt. Price out the better dates and key dates that will bring more than $25 each and you can put a number to the entire collection. Report this Post to the Staff

I would hate to see it broken up, so you might want to try to sell it intact first. You have nothing to lose but time. A dealer would be faster. They are going to offer well below melt for the common coins and will lowball you on the better ones. They have to make a profit, too. Good luck!

Joecontois Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 08/27/2026 10:34 am Hello jbuck, nice to see you still providing insight :) A friend of mine is interested at $25 a coin for the more common dates which look to be 32 of the 33 coins in the later display case (all but the 38D), and about 18 of of the 32 coins in the earlier case. Looks like I have to determine fair pricing for: 1916 1916D 1916S 1917 1917D obv 1917S obv 1917D rev 1919 1919D 1919S 1921 1921D 1921S 1923S 1938D So $25 x 50 = $1,250 and then whatever I come up with for these 15 coins..

Joecontois Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted Today 12H 12M ago Does $2,256 with the display cases thrown in seem fair? Report this Post to the Staff
thecoinguy1964 Pillar of the Community United States 1342 Posts	Posted Today 2H 24M ago Great topic, on just what we can get for our collection, once we decide to let go. We all will be in this situation, sooner or later. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff

Joecontois Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted Today 54M ago Thanks jbuck. I was shooting for 2500, would've liked 2400, but it was a friend so I knocked a little off and included the expensive cases. Report this Post to the Staff
