I have 6 sets of these packages. They are all sealed untouched.. 5 of the packets are small beads blunt 5, and one is a large bead blunt 5... Id like to know how much they're worth each, or as a whole set. Here are some pictures, I'm sorry that they're not the best quality I couldn't get that close.. If you need any more info let me know.. Thanks a lot!     |

I'd also like to know why I find some 1965 LB blunt 5 Canadian dollars that are worth over 100$ and yet These sets are 40-50$ that I've seen.

The price of the 1965 large or small beads are pretty much the same, but if your 1965 nickel is a "Large Beads, Detached Jewel", it's worth multiple thousands!

Welcome
The bad news is they are only worth bullion value
The good news is bullion is over $40 an ounce

I have 14 sets actually 2 from 1966 and one from 1968... Some of these have to be worth something.

jondob, There are few things to look for in the 1965 P/L sets.
1) Dollar coin L Bead or Sm Bead, Pointed 5 or Blunt 5
2) 5 cent L Jewel Sm Jewel Extra Claw on beaver back foot
3) 1 cent Sm Bead Pointed 5 Sm Bead Blunt 5 Large Bead Blunt 5
4) Cameo, Heavy Cameo finish
The Small Bead Pointed + Blunt 5 Dollars are the common ones all the rest carry a little better premium depending on which one it is.
I have never seen a 1 cent pointed 5 yet but I have herd rumors of them I think that set would be worth a fair bit and the set with a 5 cent with a large jewel would be the one worth the most.
There may be more thats all the ones I know of.

jodob, you are looking at the price of circulation coinage when you see MS65 being worth XXX . These sets contain PL (Proof Like , meaning they were made for collectors) coins which are worth much less. Assuming your 1965 dollar is PL65 and graded by a company, it's worth ~35-40 dollars fair market value. Add extra for cameo and extra again for PL66 and more yet for PL67. I have a PL66 cameo 1967 in the for sale section at a reasonable 55 dollars I got from someone's collection I bought. If it were an MS66 cameo you can bet it would be worth ten times that at least.
These sets have some varieties, but without any valuable ones popping up they are worth bullion value. 1.1 ounces of silver.

Ugly, thank you for your response and everyone else's.
So What should I be expecting to get for each set then?

Ok, thank you everyone! I was hoping I'd have some worth a few hundred dollars. There sure is a lot to look for on a coin.

I hope this is close to topic, any idea what a mint set like this for 1964 that has the "dollar missing the dot" is worth? Would it be better to break up the set and part it out or sell as a whole.  thanks  Edited by nybird

In the PL it's not worth a premium, it's a just a common variety. Like a 65 blunt five or pointed five, makes no difference. You might get a small premium for the set 5-15 dollars if you advertise it as specifically no dot.

Forgive my lack of knowledge but if the BV today for the set is about $48 are you saying the set is worth about $58 (just to stay in the middle of your estimate)?
