I have two - one will be left as original, and the cons for that: they are almost 50 years in the original package and no toning. The second still would like to have in the capsules in the box - for the best display. Edited by Silveroid

Silveroid: By chance do you have one of those silver toned 1c in either of your sets? If so it'd be great to see the pic of your rarity.....sadly mine are just the run of the mill 1967 reddish/brown copper pennies:-(

No, wildflower, that what I am saying...after so many years (but not in my ownership, cause I got them in 2011), they look like new.

Thank to everyone for your replies. I have no idea how they were stored (other than what they are currently in. I'm still going through the pile of coins.
Have found some interesting pieces - about 10 1944/1945 nickels and 4 JFK Memorial Half dollars in original packaging.
Now I've got some researching to do!
Thanks again,
John

I searched to buy the "Proof like" 1967 set in envelope, where the coins haven't contacted with open air, and bought it, when the silver was high for CDN 45.
I believe, in any format it will be close to bullion value.
But of cause for the sets with the gold $20, all the price wight will be on side of gold coin.
From my "point of view" of beginner, this set deserves good box, so I still in the search for it, keeping in mind some simple alternatives that I aware of.

Customer walks in:
"My grandmother gave a BIN OF COINS she felt were "worth" something..."
Silverside, pardon me for chuckling but you just want to sell the customer "a good box" for a 1967 6-coin set? We don't know if they're keepsakes or if they were picked up at a garage sale last week! And you've quoted a value without even looking at the reverse of the set. What if the goose was diving?
John: If the situation is that your Grandmother wants to know what a "Bin of Coin" is worth and you've offered to help her out, then here are a couple of suggestions:
- Spend some time learning about coins, grades. varieties, errors, values, etc. Local libraries often have books on the subject.
- Contact a local coin dealer and inquire if they might be of assistance, or what they might charge for an appraisal.

Wildflower, right, John started topic about his particular set.
but from the second page we moved to the generic 1967 set.
And what I do with mine - looking for the box for it, that will cost near same like I paid for the set.
R4mn33k and CoinCanuck both paid even less.
And again, it just about some 1967 set in general.
Btw, I wrote about it.
But try to search for Australian 1967 "Swan" dollar.
same attractive design, but priced way higher.

Silveroid, no need to explain, I was just teasing you. I think the discussion on other threads about RCM reps got me into a "selling skills" mode and my imagination took it away, John lugging his bin out the door of the shop with a nice little display box in hand! But speaking of cases....the 1967 Special Edition (Specimen) Set, RCM issued them unencapsuled, unsealed but in a black leather case. The case itself is nice but the clasp to close and open it seems to stick. It's a very odd type of clasp, different than Prestige or Proof sets. To make a long story short I was holding the case vertically while struggling with the clasp, suddenly it burst open and all the coins spilled onto the kitchen floor and rolled everywhere. I was not happy. Needless to say they did not go back into that case. |
