Take a look. I was given these last year as a gift, but I'm really more into Mercury Dimes and Franklin Halves.

 

I posted these on Craigslist, and kept getting numerous lowball offers from people for about $30, so I've given up on that. Surely these are worth more than that? Just from a rough estimate, I think they have about $65 worth of silver in them, right? Plus, I think the condition of the Walking Liberty half might add about $15-$20 to the value, but those are just guesses on my part.

 

Anyone have thoughts? What is a fair price for these? Thanks!

As of the moment this post is written, the coins have a melt value of $63.98. You should expect between 90-105% if you were to sell this on eBay (before eBay fees, of course).

 

 

Edited to add: Basis: Spot = $30.62/troy oz.

Also, as a general tip, I would be hesitant to purchase or sell anything on Craig's List. It seems worse than eBay to me, and appears to be filled with bottom feeders (based on anecdotal evidence that I don't wish to publish). Try posting the coins here, and solicit bids or sell them at a fixed price consistent with the pricing information contained above.

You certainly won't get the prices marked on the 2X2's but should do fine with reasonable expectations. I voted $60-70 FYI . Best of luck

I see atleast $80 there

 

$30 each morgan

$15 for the walker

$5 walking the standing lib.

Yep--put me in for 70-80. CRAIGSLIST? What were you thinking?

The good morgan could fetch $40-50 on ebay, the lower quality one $30+, the 1945 half $20-30, and the standing liberty $15 or so.

I never bothered looking at the images, and I assumed all were low grade specimens worthy of melt value. Upon viewing the images, I do think they are worth a premium over melt value, probably in line with what the others have suggested.
