Sell The Silvers With The Set????

spy88

I've got over 20 countries "loose change" coins collected by my Grandparents as they traveled the world. They tried to get a set of all the denominational coins. Mostly from the '50's/'60's, with some considerably older dates and some of the countries did mint partial/full % silver coins.

My question to those of you that may sell on eBay...would you include the silver coins in the listing or keep them separate and list individually??

Example: I have the full (I believe full) KM listings for Mexico...1 Centavo thru the 100 Peso. The KM443 25 Centavo 1951 is 30% silver. The set would be incomplete if I left it out so...

Any thoughts and thanks for the options.

Good question.

I think I'd likely leave the silver in where it rounds out a set or series of some kind.

Otherwise, I might tuck it away or sell it separately.

If you do sell, you could consider keeping a few that you really enjoy or one per country for nostalgia

Are you saying you have one of each Type? or one of each Date? because 1951 wasn't the only year Mexico minted silver-content coins. The peso, for example, had silver. I don't have the figures off memory, but I would guess that removing the silver coins would remove way too many of the coins to sell as a "set" of any kind. If you did that you'd be better off selling them all individually, or else, selling as "random lot of Mexico types."
