Hi. What does the forum think a complete set of unc Australian dollar coins would be worth and would it be better to sell at fixed price or to auction the set (over 300 coins - all UNC)

"Completed sets" rarely sell for more than the sum of their parts, usually for considerably less. It's paradoxical - you'd think all that effort into compiling a "Set" would add value, but it doesn't. That's because we collectors like to do the work of collecting and "assembling sets" ourselves; buying an already-completed set seems like "cheating". So the only people who would want to buy it are dealers... and they will only want to buy it cheaply so they can break the set up and sell the coins individually, for profit.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Sap is right.

The easy coins are always easier to obtain than the scarcer ones.
When I was collecting by series, I only went for the scarcer or harder coins to obtain, and ignored the easier coins. I figured that the market (like me) would have been more interested in the harder to obtain coins.

My approach to numisamtics has long since changed since I was series collecting.

Would they be worth on average $10 each? I'm thinking of the standard size al-br coins.

Some will be and some won't depends if you have the original packaging or not ( packkyboxitis).
The grade and condition of the coins is a big factor as well.
Most average grade type coins will get $3-$5 on ebay and the ebay fees and paypal will "Eat" most of this.
You could sell them in batches eg same coin with different mint marks/privy marks .
I wish you well in your endeavour.

The hard to get rolls & bags are the way to go.

Best chance of making money out of the most of a $1 coin set is in a poker machine.

Helped a wheelchair bound person to sell coins on ebay. They really needed to get something going on in their life.

We came up with selling 5 consecutive years of coins or a ten year sets or year sets. It worked out to give them an interest in life.

Now they are selling lots from bricks and mortar auctions and breaking them down and selling these lots on ebay.
