I’m sorry I took this off topic. Now back on to the topic.

Pricing a geocoins is a very difficult thing. The price depends on who wants it and when it’s available. I have seen sold out coins sell for $158 one week and the next week the same coin sold for $20, and have seen the same coin in a normal one for one trade on the forum during these auctions. I have also seen coins that are still available for sale at the vendor or offered on the forum go for 3-5 times the selling price on ebay. I have also seen the same coin at three different silence auction events this year go from $25 to $75.

The price is also depended on the hype the coins has, if it was designed by one of the “in” designer it will go for a higher price. The number of coins produced in the run can have a little effect on the price, the coins you listed have runs of 42, 62 and 6 but that has been over done with some coins having runs of 2 or 10 as there LE or XLE.

The prices are also affected on how many other collections have just been sold off. I think a lot of people have a monthly budget for geocoins. In the past couple of weeks one collection of 300 was just sold off at 10 coins for $50 (coins from 2005-2009 at least 8 regular). Also someone just sold grab bags of 8 coins (with at least one LE or XLE – no micros) for $50 to raise money to spend at GCF. And I think that two people had coin cleaning sales that started at $10 each and went down to $5 after a week or so.

So to set a fair price on the coins you listed is almost impossible, you also did not say which of the version you are going to sell. If you want to get the highest price ebay is the place to put it then post links on the geocoin discussion on the ground speak forum and this forum.

I don’t think that I answer you question, but I don’t think that you will find an answer until you sell them.

How about highest bidder? Your market drives your price.

It's been my experience that selling then individually is better.

Sounds good. I know there are several people who want to get in on this, I'll post a link in the sale section of the forums when I have them up.

I'd like to either complete my set or dump my Showy Ladyslipper coin. It is activated but uncirculated.. except for a couple of events. But few enough logs to be able to delete and start over.
