Hi Everyone, I'm wondering if there is more value in having multiple coins in a collection or to sell individually? Currently I have: 11x Millenium Incuse 50c 7x Rotated 2010 50c 20+ Full sets of 2001 Centenary of Feds 50c Obviously condition will play a key factor in pricing, however my intentions are to sell most of these towards a cruise for my fiance and myself. Considering the time to sell Individually on ebay and the fees charged, I was wondering if selling as a whole set would be more beneficial? If anyone has sold bulk sets and could shed some light on the value difference compared to individual sales would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the time! |

From my experience I would say sell them separately. On ebay I get around $25 to $30 for incused and anywhere from $18 to $35 for a set of 50¢ CoF. Don't know what 2010 upsets are fetching but they are in high demand. I had a few but gave away and swapped for proclamation silver. Why not do a search on ebay and select "completed listings" link to see what they have fetched Edited by Jeff

Speaking only as a collector and a buyer, if I were in the market for a millennium incuse 50¢, I'd only want one. I would consider any additional identical coins in the lot to be of negative value, since I would have to go to all the trouble of getting rid of the unwanted ones myself. The only people interested in buying bulk quantities of more-or-less identical coins are dealers, and they are going to be wanting to pay wholesale or bulk prices for them in such a case.
So sell them individually. It's more time and effort on your part, but definitely worth it.

Hi Matt J. May I ask how long you have noodled for to get these figures? I don't get much time for my hobby but would be over the moon for your numbers on incused and rotated fiftys ! ;)

Sap is right. If you must sell, take 6 months or more to do so, and have fun doing it.

Ive stopped counting how many coins I've noodled so far, but it has been well into the $1000's, I dont spend to much time looking for Cuds and such so I get through them fairly quickly. Its suprised me that I've found more incuse and rotated than I have found 1985s |

It's funny how noodling goes.
I have found many more 1985 than incuse.
I think 10+ 1985 and 3 incuse

It all depends on how much time you have and what your time is worth. If you have spare time and/or want the maximum profit list them individually. However, listing individually also means multiple scans/photos, listings, multiple listing questions, feedback, postage/packing time, etc. As Jeff has mentioned the you can generally sell an incused flag for between $25-$30 on ebay individually. Sell all 11 in bulk and you're looking at probably $20 per coin. You may get slightly higher/lower but it will be nothing like the $30 per coin. 11 x $27.50 (average) per coin = $302.50 11 x $20 per coin = $220 With the new ebay fee structure it pays to sell individually if you have the time and patience. You can even pick a minimum price you are willing to get for each coin and not cop any listing fees (you get 30 insertion fee free listings per month if you are a regular seller). Edited by b_j_w_79

Prices for the 2010 rotated 50c seem to have come off in the last couple of months - seem to be going in the $40s and $50s as opposed to around $70 - quality a factor as well as coins are in circulation longer.
The prices for 2001 Federation 50c sets sold has fluctuated over the year with an average around $40 (includes postage).

Hi, I was looking for some information regarding some notes I have. I have eight consecutively numbered five dollar notes (AUS) which are the old paper notes, they are brand new, mint condition, am curious as to what they may be worth and what interest people would have in them. Thanks, mark.

Paper $5 notes are usually worth a premium on face value but, depends on signatures and condition. Thes could be worth anything from about $20 each up to several hundred dollars each. Consecutive numbers don't seem to often add much to the value.  Edited by Jeff

Thanks Jeff, I'll try to add some photos when I get home, not sure if I can do it with just my phone. Condition of the notes is perfect, they were new when I got them and have been stuck in a book ever since. They were never folded or any thing.

Also, I have a friend who has 100x$1 notes and 100x$2 notes both still bound from the bank. Could you please give some idea of what these could be worth. They're not for sale, he is just curious.

$2 and $2 notes in UNC condition can be worth from a few dollars up to several hundred dollars each. Again depends on signature combination on the notes.
Some early $1 bundles can be worth thousands of dollars.
Ask your friend which signature are on the notes and tell him to leave the bundles intact and store them safely.
