I have not been a silver hoarder, although I am now thanks to my parents. My mom is coin collector, and over the years (say last 30-40 yrs) she collected for all three of us and her grandchildren. I have minted, uncirculated US Mint collections of dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars. She also bought some plain silver coins in the last couple years. EDIT: she also purchased unique coin sets as well.
My question for my informed frens is this: are they more valuable as minted uncirculated sets than individual pieces? No, I'm not selling, it all has sentimental value as my dad is no longer with us and frankly, my mom is almost 85 now. If I HAD to sell, advice,?
That I'm unsure of. At first I collected minted coins but went to collecting rounds and focused more on the weight value and avoided premiums for minted coins like the American Silver Dollar and the Canadian Maple Leaf..

Numismatic is probably going to be irrelevant for a while, while price discovery is manifesting.
It may become higher valued again later.
