silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 07/28/2018 8:16 pm i just picked up a few specimen sets,2008,2006,2015-raccoons,2015 blue jay,2011.. looking for opinions.. i realize the value is in the special toonie or loonie coin, seeing ebay sold prices, the single coin usually sells for more than the set would sell for.... so does it make more sense to just break out the special coins, and sell them one by one, and sell everything left as a lot.. Doesn't seem to be much interest in specimen coins, other than the special ones.. Report this Post to the Staff

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 7:50 pm my plan is to sell them, but was wondering, if I should break up the sets, or sell them whole? Report this Post to the Staff
Alex A Pillar of the Community 710 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 10:26 pm @silverwolf, the value is in the special coins as you stated. So IMHO I would first try to sell the special coins individually without breaking the set (only break the set when the coin is sold and paid for). Unless you have a way to sell complete sets locally the Fees and Shipping will take a big chunk out of your sales. Good luck with this! Report this Post to the Staff
