I'm selling my Dansco album of business issue ASEs tomorrow. The album has 1986-2013 (28 coins). I probably paid $10 each if you average them out, so getting $55 each, I'm not losing anything. That said, just out of caution, are there any years in there that are worth a premium? These coins were hand picked for my album, so they are all pretty. Am I good to go, or are there any I need to separate? Next I'll be doing my ASE proof/burnished set, but I haven't gotten a quote on them yet. That will take some research. Especially the 08R07.  Thank you! Dave Edited by ratio411

The 1996 is the lowest minted of the bullion series so brings the most money.

There used to be a premium for the 1986, 1994-1996, but that was when silver was $17 an ounce, my LCS would pay spot for the set and about $20 for the Dansco. So you are looking at about $1820-$1920.
4 years ago I was offered the same set for $750. I already had one but should have picked it up, I would have 2.5x my money.

Yeah, I figure right this moment is a bad time to sell anything with premium value because people will use the silver value to pay spot for everything. After this value becomes normalized, the premiums will return.
Probably a good time to buy things with numismatic value, and not just melt value.

Disregard my calculation above though, I thought you had the dansco to 2022 (that's the book I have), take out $450 as you don't have 36 coins, so assume $1,370 to $1470

I was already quoted $55 each (assuming the spot value is the same today). They don't want the album. So, $1540.

I'm surprised you are getting above spot. Spot is ~ $53, my LCS would only pay ~ $50 (he currently has too much silver, many people are selling, paying $2.50 below spot)

Yeah, my local coin shops are paying 10-20% (which is robbery) below spot. This is a precious metal broker that is buying. He pays spot +1 for 'clean' ASEs. Which these are. He pays spot for handled ASEs, and pays spot -.50 for other legal tender bullion. I forgot what he said about rounds. I think it was spot -1.
Spot was just at 54 when we talked. I haven't checked today. Could be less today?

Funny part is that he didn't want my Dansco, and as I was walking out the door he asked if I wanted another, as he has no use for them. He gave me one still in the plastic!

selling to a LCS you will get less then spot (so they can turn a profit later on) sellingh in ebay at above spot would be your best bet now. |
