That's what I was thinking. It would be nice to find out what others think would be a good price.
Just for the new collectors this is how I break down a set like this. When I go into a coin shop and I try to figure out what would be a good price. (I am no expert, but this is how I do it)
Before I say what I paid, this is how I broke it down.
The Dansco book is a 8 page album. It retails at over $30. It is in very good shape, but still used.
1. Look for key date, or better date coins. (I did not check every coin, but the ones I know are not there)
2. Break down the rest of them
3. silver proof quarters
- any silver quarter at 12X face is $3.00, but these are proof, numismedia list all these in PR65 at
over $10. All are better than PR65, so they should be between 3 and 10 dollars each (buying separate)
4. Clad proof (15 coins, 68 S thru 92 S) What is a good price $1 ..$2 each Numismedia shows them
at $5 to $10 in PR64/PR65 for these years.
5. SMS (2 coins) this is a hard one .. I priced them as BU, but the 1967 is very nice and has good value
above MS65.
6. P and D's (40 coins) all look BU, couple are a little dull, most look great. $10 face value what is a good price to pay for BU's?
Of course first you have to want to collect them. I thought they will go good with my
State Quarter albums. Plus I have most of the rest of the presidents, I thought I might as well get this set too.
A set of Dansco Presidents albums will look good on a shelf of their own. This is what I call my president coins,
Lincoln (8100) Jefferson (8113) Roosevelt (do not have yet) Washington (I have 4 different albums for these) Kennedy ( do not have the album yet, but putting together a set of proof only Kennedy's that I will put in a blank half album) and last the Ike set .. I am almost done with this set it is starting to look pretty nice.
