The value of a 1987 uncirculated coin set can vary depending on where you purchase it, but generally, you can expect to pay in the range of $5 to $16.
Here’s a breakdown of the typical value:
- Average Value: Around $7.95 – $15.99.
- Wholesale Price (Greysheet): $5.50. Dealers may sell for 5-20% below this price in many cases.
- Various Retailers:
– Golden Eagle Coins: $6.95 – $7.23.
– Collectors Alliance: $7.95.
– eBay: $5 – $15.99 (depending on the specific seller).
– Littleton Coin Company: $10.25.
– Republic Collectibles: $6.
– International Coins & Currency: $12.
– Etsy: $15 – $15.99.
- Condition of the coins and original packaging: Uncirculated sets are designed to preserve the condition of the coins, but handling and storage can affect their state. Sets in pristine condition with intact packaging will generally fetch a higher price.
- Mintage: The 1987 uncirculated set had a mintage of 2,890,758 sets, which is considered a fairly large mintage for a mint set. This can impact its long-term investment potential compared to sets with much lower production numbers.
- Inclusion of the Kennedy half dollar: The 1987 Mint Set is notable because the Kennedy Half Dollar was not struck for circulation that year, making the Mint Set the only way to obtain the coin for 1987. This might make it slightly more appealing to some collectors, but it doesn’t dramatically impact the overall value.
Note: Prices are subject to change and can be influenced by various market factors. It’s always advisable to consult multiple sources and consider the reputation of the seller when evaluating the value of a coin set.
