Question
A relative has asked me to find out about his collection of 200 mini coins, and info and value.

The identifying information he gave me is:

Franklin Mint 200th Anniversary Bicentennial 1976  soo coins in set

Also: History of the US Mini Coin Collection.

Thanks
Stan

Answer
Stan,

Sorry but stuff like this has almost no resale market.  The only money you can get for it is if it contains any precious metal -- like silver.

Find the total metal content, in pure Troy ounces, and multiply by the current spot prices listed at www.kitco.com -- this will give you an approximate value for the set.

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
