It is all pretty much $bay stuff. Unless some of the commemoratives are MS69 or 70's none of what you have there would benefit from grading. Too bad you are not at a point yet where you can offer these for a pre sale to members first.
Some of what you have would be of interest to many here. You can however post links to your $bay sales.

Do yourself a huge favour this is really simple stuff . There is well published info on your listed material. If you want to sell it you will probably get 10 to 15 back of Grey sheet on the sets and the gold probably melt or close. Do not waste time and fees on selling this stuff on ebay. |

Looks like a lot of duplicate cons.
Your $5.00 gold coins will have the most value, about $300 each.
A dealer will pay back of that.
If coins like that were passed down to me. I would keep one set of each
coin, then sell the rest. Then use the money to buy other coins.
I think the 1991 set in the wood box would be my favorite.

Phaedrus29, I don't know if this is an option for you, but have you thought about attending a local coin show? This way you could walk around to multiple dealers and get the best offers. Likely there is a dealer or two who deals mostly in modern stuff. They'd probably pay you under bid, but you'd probably end up netting the same as ebay with far less hassle. Otherwise, I'd say go with ebay. Descriptions and pictures are very important. Definitely include the information about these being from an estate. People seem to like that more versus coins that have been who knows where. |

I'm planning to try the Mint Sets on ebay shortly:  Just wondering if you have any advice about what I should include in the listing. There are three original shipping boxes from the mint, so I thought I would mention that...I don't know if that's worth anything to collectors. I've just taken the overall shot and one pic of each different year of the sets...I figure that's probably adequate, right? Edited by Phaedrus29

You will get more from a dealer (if you pick a fair one) than you will on ebay for this stuff. There are well established buy sell prices on this very common material. |

I disagree. Most dealers I know do not even want the mint sets...you would be lucky to get anything over face value from a dealer here. Heck, when I worked at a shop, we had so many of these that they were cut open and put in the till.

You would be better off on ebay OR wait until you have enough posts here to offer them here if you have the inclination to do so. Not only can you learn more about the hobby here and meet ALOT of good people, but you might just "Get the Bug" and maybe want to expand your collection. With what ever you may decide, good luck and be careful.  |

First, I need to make my sister happy by selling a bunch of stuff. Second, I need to convince my wife it will be a good idea to expand the collection in this or that way. This second step may be slightly tricky.  |
