Is it better to sell coins out of the RCM as seperate coins instead of a coin colection? I have a lot of 1960's RCM sets in wraps.

Thanks

I assume you're talking about the cheesy cellophane bubble wrap they used to put coins in. My gut says no, but I have seen a lot of this wrap springing air leaks with the coins oxidizing unattractively, so esthetically, I would say they are preferable in 2x2's.

I may be wrong, though. My suggestion is to check online auctions and see if there is any kind of a premium if you leave them as is.

Do RCM sets come with like a special sticker or something that states it's a mint set?
I would say stick them in 2x2's, but keep the sticker or whatever from the RCM set. You may have seen people selling coins in a similar way... as "freshly removed from mint set", usually with something from the mint wrapping as proof.
I've done it with a couple Italian sets that were torn and had to be removed. Worked out quite well! =)
Cheers!

On the other hand, I have a roll of 1991 quarters in the plastic mint sleeve (shrink fit type) that I am thinking of opening up and selling.

Any interest out there?

I have one of the lovely 1967 Canadian wildlife commemorative sets still in the brown paper envelope and plastic packaging it was put into 40 years ago. I had to search through about thirty of these envelopes to find one that wasn't torn or damaged with the coins toning inside.

As long as the plastic stays undamaged, I plan to leave them in there. Whether or not they command a premium over coins broken out of the plastic or not, I don't know.

I think they bring a premium higher than the set when single , a lot of people collect one denomination and are not interested in the other coins in the set.

I have to agree with you on that. I have a lot of single coins, still in the "mint wrap" plastic, which tends to prove that people do save just one , (or more), coins from a set. If it is above grade, many people do break them out. It is very common in the US.

Like in the United States, some people like to break open sets with above average coins. Certify them and sell.
