I know I’m late to the game on this one, but I have experienced this same thing with various Canadian Maple Leaf coins as well. Some years stack slightly higher. DNA (2014+) seem to have a minuscule height difference. If you trust the place you got them from and they pass the various tests you put them through, you should be good.

Not violently, couldn't find the symbol for the "£"

Won't tell you my accumulative total, but I started in 2015 when my purchases were £14.50 an ounce.

The total price has been reduced. Now only asking $3,000 CAD for the entire date set.

Well at least 140 people have seen this post. Perhaps $3800 CAD is too much for most people. Anyone want to make a reasonable offer for the set? If no one wants the entire set, I might consider selling piece by piece. Please leave your thoughts behind.

So you must live or be willing to drive to the GTA (I will add a map). Coins come encapsulated (no extra charge) which adds to their protection, but can be easily removed. I have photos of all coins, but can obviously only post so many. If you are interested and live or are willing to drive to the GTA, we can set up a time and place within the map circle.

@LawrenceChard I was thinking about this the other day and I wanted to give an update. While my wife and I were on our honeymoon this past summer, we came across an amazing carpet weaver in Turkey (Türkiye as they spell it). We both fell in love with a particular silk carpet that we saw in the store and we decided to buy it. After a bit of price negotiating, we agreed on a firm and fair price for the carpet. The gentleman there asked how we would like to pay and I took him by surprise when I said, "Gold." The store owner asked for clarity and I said again, "I would like to pay in gold." The owner asked his business partner if he was willing to accept payment in gold and after a short conversation, they both agreed. While not an every day kind of purchase, the transaction was conducted using gold coin. The only time I would consider doing this type of transaction again is on larger priced product or if I had smaller denominations of gold (i.e. grams) for smaller purchases.

Whatever products you are trying to sell to generate some cash, see what dealers are selling it for and go slightly below their cost.

Speaking in Canadian dollars here (CAD) with no VAT attached. If I see spot price of silver at $30 an ounce and a dealer is offering a 10 ounce bar for $360 ($36 per ounce), then as a seller of a similar/same 10oz silver bar, I would list the bar at $330. This keeps the price attractive as it is below what the dealer would sell it for and you won't lose your shirt by selling it below spot price. Just my thoughts @Panda6Pack

Very true. Forgot about that. Perhaps as you say, listing them as 'approximate' grades would be best, but with a disclaimer to the buyer.

Agreed on the grading aspect. At best I would just sell each one with generic descriptions i.e. ‘Uncirculated details’ and let the buyer decide for themselves if they like the coin and it’s eye appeal. I just happened to choose one coin at random and it was this 1888 MS64. Just had a better look at the rest now and most are MS62-MS63. A few extremely fine, two that are very good. Most all common dates. I might post some pics later on.

Just looking for general advice. I have mostly common Morgans (1878-1904, 1921) and common Peace (1921-1928, 1934-1935). The coin collection is “ungraded” professionally, but a true admirer and collector would have a sense of grade with each coin. The advice I’m seeking: How and where to sell coins like these? Coin shops are generally offering ~55% of book value. My grandfather collected these and was at study in grading coins. That’s why they are encapsulated like this… Any advice would be helpful.

Can you spot the overstrike?

I remember buying common “survival date” Morgans (mostly 1921s) for spot plus 15% pre-19 freak out. Now it seems the same ones are more like spot price plus 50% or more. So crazy.
