Hey everyone just need a bit of help. As some of you may know last week I posted a thread to sell of some of my collection to buy 1 or 2 really nice coins. Now I have decided on some of my coins to sell and just wanted to ask everyone here if they think that my estimates are accurate. p.s. I intend to trade these with my favourite dealer at the Petersham show 1914h florin aVF 440 1915h florin gF 180 1885 sovereign EF/aUNC 500 1870 sovereign EF/aUNC 800 1933 shilling F 160 1932 florin VG 160 $2240 total I have tried to price them on the cheap side after initially thinking that $2460 total maybe a bit to optimistic. Also can anyone give me any tips on any certain shillings in certain grades that I should look to swap for? because this represents approximately a third of my collection and I can't afford to waste it  Thanks in advance |

I havent go my catalogue here but those prices seem to be around retail? If youre looking to trade I would expect to get 60-80% of retail.

Current 2013 McDonalds retail price as follows
1914h florin aVF 680
1915h florin gF 280
1885 sovereign EF/aUNC 550
1870 sovereign EF/aUNC 850
1933 shilling F 220
1932 florin VG 250
$2830 total
I'd say 75% of these prices and you would be doing well if you can get it

I reckon youd be looking at about 50% or less of Maccas Values

Beat me to it stevo and gee enworb 50% or less is kinda harsh I think. I am honestly hoping for $2000 in trade value otherwise I may as well not bother swapping.

It depends how well you know this dealer. In low-mid grades maccas prices are a joke. 50-60% of CV is the true retail value for most coins listed. A dealer would have to pay less to make some money. For instance ithink you would be lucky to get more than $100 for your 1933 shilling. You might get $150 for the 32 florin. Hopefully he knows you well enough and is willing to cut his profit margin a bit to help a friend or valued customer.

Id love for me to be wrong for your sake. You may as well take them along and test the waters. I just wouldn't go with high expectations. I have rarely been into a coin dealer and been offered more than what I have thought I would. Usually far less.

Hate to say but catalogues not realistic in terms of price you will get
Working on a "real price list/catalogue" but will take a few months to get significant data
You guys will be first to know
I'd say use catalogue minus 30-40%

250
100
400
550
150
250

1700
