bobh New Member Switzerland 42 Posts	Posted 03/23/2025 08:07 am I bought about a half-dozen of these around 15 years ago. I tried looking for some prices on the internet, but they vary wildly between silver melt and over $100. The 1996 set (which I do not have) seems to command the highest prices, AFAICT. Is there a good online reference for these? Report this Post to the Staff

I would check "SOLD" prices on e-Bay - they would reflect the current price points collectors are paying. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

I have three of the Prestige sets (1988, 1990, 1991) and still plan to add more at some point.

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5144 Posts	Posted 03/24/2025 10:17 pm There is "Book Value" and "Real World Value" You can have a million dollars in book value but unfortunately if no one is buying it is a moot point. The only way to assess what something is worth is by selling it an auction and seeing what the market will bear. Unfortunately depending on what auction venue you use you may miss out on the core buyer group or bad timing or all other sorts of factors and it will sell for far less than it could have if you had the two right buyers who really wanted it and got into a bidding war.

I agree in theory, but not necessarily in practice. Auctions are definitely an accurate (and sometimes the only) way to price high ticket coins. For average collector coins, a price guide like NumisMedia is a reasonable and practical way to asses value. I see dealers all the time pulling out the latest Greysheet to price an item for sale. People use BIN on ebay and members here on CCF use NumisMedia to price out trades. Regarding ebay sold values, I'll quote myself from an earlier thread: Quote: I hear this a lot on CCF, and while I don't dispute its accuracy, I find this is unworkable in practice. For starters, there are so many search parameters for a particular coin. An 1892 Barber dime might also be "1892 Liberty Head Dime," "1892 Liberty dime," "1892 dime," "1892 silver dime," etc., not to mention typos. That coin might be listed under the Barber dime category, or Dimes, or just Coins & Paper money, or not even have a category listed. Then if you're like me and you keep a want list, you'll have to make all those various searches for every single coin on your list. I have 43 Barber dimes on my want list alone, not to mention other series. Even if I only used two or three search parameters per coin, the time it would take adds up significantly. Plus, are you going to calculate the average price of the last 5 sales? 10? 20? That's a lot more time doing math for each coin on your list. So to me, ebay sold listings, while accurate, are time consuming, unwieldy, and impractical. I use NumisMedia or Coin World Coin Values for U.S. coins, Coins and Canada for Canadian coins, and Numista for everything else.
