I've got many different coin packs from the RCM that contain circulation coins, such as 2-coin set 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag in card, 5-coin packs of lucky loonies (2012, 2014, 2016), 10-coin packs Stanley cup quarters, 12-coin packs of arctic expedition quarters.... and the list goes on. These were generally issued by the RCM at face value and come in a card, booklet or sealed plastic. I've got at least 17 different sets, with some multiples. The total face value is over $430. And they take up a lot of space. I was wondering if there is a big market for these multi-coin packs and if so, how much over face value do they fetch? |

Redzapsid - You would hope you "should" always be able to get face for them at least. But....I recently got two 5 packs of Vimy toonies for $16.00 from a big dealer. $4.00 less than face! I don't know why or how they could do it. There are alot out there though. Lets hope it's not the trend, unless you are buying.
I kept 1 pack and cut one pack into 5 for friends. Maybe they will get the bug.

Dealers will not want them. Cash them in at the Bank if you want to get rid of them.

That's my plan B. I'd like to see them end up in the hands of someone that would appreciate them. Or perhaps someone with a youngster that needs entry level items. I bet they'd make a great show and tell item at school

How about donating to your local coin club for youngster table.

I'm not a member of any clubs. And I can't really afford to donate to a coin club anyhow. I think my donations to the food bank over the recent holiday season are more meaningful. It's hard for me to donate coins to someone that wants to store them in a shoebox, when there's other that have never seen a show box, since you don't get one at second hand stores. I wish I could afford to donate to both sides of the spectrum, but I can't. All the kids in my extended family have little to no interest in coins.
It's a tough time for the hobby when no one I know wants them, at face value plus shipping.

There isn't a big market for them but I would keep them.
If you really don't want them then spend them. Some other collector will pick them up from circulation.

I'd take them all off your hands at face value. You could probably list them on ebay and come out a little ahead even after fees. |

I got a lot of them for trading with foreign coin collectors, but stopped due to the high cost of mailing. Eventually I just sold them at face value to a local dealer I am friendly with. There was not enough interest in them to bother with.
