SAMPLE PRICES PAID for Modern Mint Material. FREE List of Exact Prices Paid! I am MOST interested in purchasing all modern Franklin Mint® and other bronze, silver and gold private mint singles, sets, and other collectibles (including official coins, medals, ingots, plates, bronzes, sculpture, spoons and any other limited edition issues) in any quantity. Please ship for my top offer. Over the past several years I have purchased virtually EVERY silver set sent to me. Prices are for original condition, undamaged items, with original packaging and literature. Please note I WILL buy ALL items, even those missing pieces packaging/literature, but prices will generally be somewhat lower. FREE Quote on Prices Paid on your Modern Mint items: If you need a price before you ship, I will send you a link to a page with my FIRM BUY PRICE. Send me an email: hartzog@exonumia.com. The topics most in demand, and those that will bring the most money, include Space, Boy/Girl Scout, most Norman Rockwell items, all gambling tokens/medals, medical and pharmacy sets and other "Art" or TOPICAL subjects. Items including "States of the Union" and "Presidents" and other common sets are of less interest, although still wanted. Most sculpture, jewelry, lithographs and other such issues are worth substantially less than issue price. However I do have collectors for ALL items, and welcome your shipment of ALL material. All pieces must be in good, undamaged condition.

Profit Margin: On most recent purchases I have been selling at 10% to 20% over my cost for the lot. Actually, I have developed several collectors interested in buying box lots, and will take everything. This allows me to pay more, sell for less, turn my money over at a modest profit, and buy more! Obviously I am not becoming wealthy on this modern mint material, but I am developing more retail markets, and this allows me to pay more in the future. I WANT to buy your modern mint collectibles! Please ship today! UPS Shipment: Collectors are often unwilling to ship their material, wrongly believing the shipping cost will be high. In the continental US you can ship me 50 pounds of material for under $22.00, sent regular UPS commercial rate. Take your package to the UPS office, not to a Pack-N-Send, which charge high premiums. Do NOT order GroundTrac, as every UPS package already has a trace number, and it is a needless expense. Packaging: Please pack well, with extra protection around corners. If your set comes in a chest with drawers, remove the drawers, stack them with layers of cardboard or cushioning, tape them together to avoid movement and ship. If you ship a heavy chest as is, the weight of the medals will break the drawers and chest. All but one of the "History of the US" sets sent me have arrived badly damaged (and worth less to me). Please DO NOT pack delicate ceramic items in the same box as heavy items: they WILL break if you do! Thank you! Packaging of Ceramic or Pewter items: I greatly prefer to get delicate items sent in the original shipping box. You MUST put several layers of bubble wrap around delicate items, or they will arrive broken. For best results, put two or three well-wrapped items into a small box, and then put several such boxes into a larger, sturdy box for shipment. If you put more than a few items into a single box, they will shift around in transit, and damage each other. Sorry, damaged items have no value to me, unless silver or gold.
FREE Offers on your List. I HAVE purchased virtually every modern mint set sent to me over the past several years, so I know I am paying reasonable prices. I just want to BUY! I do try to pay current market prices (this is not the original retail price). However collectors who paid $10 for a medal are generally not willing to sell at the current market value of (for example) $4 to $5. The modern mint material is beautiful, a wonderful collection, and nice to look at. However, much of it has NOT gone up in value! And, sorry, it won't go up from current levels for a few decades to come! Generally, most ALL modern material including plates, "limited editions" of whatever nature and other made-for-collector items are now worth less than your original cost. You do not generally expect to make money on a $300 painting you hung on your wall and enjoyed for years. Why do collectors expect to make money on metallic artwork held only a few years? Enjoy the modern material, but do not expect to make a profit after holding only 25 years. There are many collector medals over 50 years old that sell for less than their original price. YES, a few pieces DO bring more, but most do not, Sorry! Prices I will pay for your list of Modern Mint collectibles: If you really want to sell, SHIP for my top price. If you prefer, send only a few sets at a time, rather than everything. Always send complete sets, as partial or damaged sets are worth less. I want to buy it all !!! Ship everything!
