Did I get a good deal on these coins?!

SamThompson · May 10, 2004 8:44AM

Just bought 20 of these for $570.00.....that's about $29 each. What are your thoughts?

joecool · May 10, 2004 8:47AM

YES

SamThompson · May 10, 2004 8:50AM

I think I will *try* to sell enough of them off at $50-60 a piece to make my money back on the deal and keep the rest in my collection. Think they'll sell?

What's the most any of you would pay for this?:

I think it's pretty pricey, especially considering the quantity you bought. They are all the same date, I assume. I don't think the Benson pedigree is that big of a deal.

I saw MB Coins list these and wondered why he listed 20 at once. You should make out but it's a hassle to sell 20.

You should be able to get more than $29 each......

Benson pedigree dimes and nickels are flooding into the coin market right now. Someone must have bought a bunch of rolls from the sale and slabbed them with the pedigree. The nickels are selling for $15 each in MS-65. You might make a few dollars on them but not much.

good deal if keeping them, fees and such coupled with the hassel may make it not worth your while..only time will tell.. as for:

What's the most any of you would pay for this?:

its already bid way past its worth, AU dated gold doesnt hold its value, unless its a rare piece..I wouldnt bid over melt on it.

I'm a newbie at this game though. I will probably try to sell them out in my local newspaper..i figure people will pay more that way. but then again, i'm not too sure.

It's unlikely that a ton of people will know what they are that are reading the paper, IMO...

"Uncirculated 1945 Mercury Dime. Beautiful PCGS ms-66. Retail list $59. Sell $50"

Try a free ad in Numismatic News, much better paper!

BigGreek · May 10, 2004 10:46AM

I don't know what the retail market is for these, but I've seen non-Benson's
in PCGS or NGC got for anywhere from $25 to $35. It seems they are trending
up. For a batch of 20 you should've done a little better, IMHO.

Why not take them down to your local elementary school and hand them out
to the honor's students

Benson pedigree? I mean, it was a pretty good TV show, but not that good. . .

I am looking for a 1945 nickel for my mom (birthyear) as well as quarter and half. Nothing too expensive, but would like to keep it MS65-66. I have her a lincoln cent and a merc dime. When you say they are flooding, is it a wide variety of coins/years or was there a special hording?

I know nothing about benson, but if it is a way to get the coins that are deluging the market and dropping the price, I am game

JrGMan2004 · May 10, 2004 1:17PM

I think Benson was just a hoarder, wasn't he?

dorkkarl · May 10, 2004 9:19PM

you got screwed. the coins are worth 5 bucks each, the plastic cost about 10, so you paid double for 'em. the "benson" is worth squat on coins like that.

Did I get a good deal on these coins?!
