So many different views,opinions...me, I'm in it long term so spot prices do not make me worry one way or another...premiums on the other hand are out of all our control... I believe Silver and Gold will rise significantly in the next few years,especially Silver..so am content to buy as much as I can and hope for a decent return...after all precious metals aren't an investment but a savings account in my opinion.

So the delays I have in getting post often lead to a build up and bag log of post, usually running into weeks. The plus side is when I eventually get my hands on it all I revert back to my childhood when I was tearing into Christmas gifts 😂😃

Update:
We did see a small sales spike mainly late in the weekend, but nothing crazy.
This morning we are hearing that the Royal Mint are not accepting bullion orders, and premiums are being increased just about everywhere.
We have managed to cover all bullion coins sold, but who knows when we will get deliveries!
We have also increased many of our premiums on bullion items, but only by enough to cover the increased premiums we are being asked.
Currently bars have not been affected, but it could spill over to them.
Gold:Silver ratio came down to below 63, so it has halved since I was "pushing" it at 126.
Platinum still looks cheap.

Huge Thanks to @PapaLazarou for this awesome Christmas gift! A 2011 $1 RAM Kangaroo at Sunset 1/2 oz Silver Proof coin!



And also a great appreciation and tremendous Thank you to @Mox for the 2020 TSF Christmas draw prize! Three excellent Silver 1 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1/4 oz Egyptian coins!








But let’s not forget an additional surprise @Mox used to help obfuscate the silver in delivery!...😁😁
And a special Thanks to @RoslandGold and @ChrisSilver for this great addition from the TSF Platinum Plus prize draw! A 2019 1oz Silver Czech Lion Coin!

German 20 Mark Gold Coins (Wilhelm II - Kingdom of Prussia)   A trio of sov-sized 90% gold coins received courtesy of @Mox  ;  superb, friendly service and immediate dispatch.   I don't have much to say about these old coins beyond the above title - mainly because I currently know bugger all else. I saw them in the forum's sales thread, liked the look of them, liked the price and bought them.   -Ends

Cheers Tigger, good to know you think I flog old tat, Happy Christmas to you too.

Apologies, I wasn't directing that comment specifically at yourself. However I am just repeating what at least 4 coin dealers that I know personally are saying. They just can't shift the stuff. 
Here at the silver forum, most of our members are extremely savvy, and are always looking for a bargain. The chances of you getting the price you are thinking of is going to be low. Simply because the people on this forum are more interested in silver bullion and proof pieces from national mints. 
However I'd suggest advertising them on eBay, or even Etsy, (I've seen sets like yours for sale there in the past). Chances are you'll get closer to your asking price. 
Good luck. 😁👍
 
 

Looks like this was caused by the folder it was in, would be nice to see if the toning is on the opposite edge on the reverse.
If you really have to clean a silver coin, I wouldn't use silver dips, these are basically a week solution of Sulphur acid, and a ligand, and are designed to remove a microscopic layer of silver,
with repeated dipped making the coin look lifeless, dull and grey. They can also be cancerogenic, which would be something I would not want to use, myself.
Your best bet is the tin foil and baking soda,the hotter the water the faster the reaction, you can also use a little salt to to help the overall reaction.
The water is good from a condenser dryer if you have one(without any fluff),as this purer than tap water.
Once you are happy with the reaction ,remove with a latex glove--(not a nitrile glove)--,and wash with pure Acetone,which will bond with the water and remove the excess.
I would not use the acetone on bare skin as it is readily absorbed through your pores, however it also washes the oil from your hand onto the coin,to give a milky apearance.   
You can sometimes get a milky appearance depending on what was on the coin itself, with repeated washings this can disappear, however not always.
I have two bottles used Acetone in one for first/second wash, and brand new for final rinse.(This might be slightly anal-retentive).  
Pick something that your not overly fussed with to practice on first, just to get the feel for it.      
----Just as a separate point, a lot of times when people dip coins they say that toning appears again much quicker. I think the reasoning behind this, is that an older coin has had years to build up a fine layer of people holding it, dust settling on it, oils covering it, and just normal day to day detritus, leaving a protective layer which inhibits the toning, slowing it down, and aging it until it is one of your favourite pieces.
                                                  or you could dip it, strip it, and have it blast white.
