About 2,000 maybe more as an invester set
"industrial revolution" silver ignots
Original cost was $717.50 for 50 1oz .999 fine silver ingots. Shipped in sets of 2 ingots. Entire set of 50 ingots included display sheets for ingots, a color picture of the plane, and a description and history of each plane bound in a book.
From what I have seen because I have one too about £50 - £60
The ingots will have a 'scrap' silver value of approx £14 per Troy Ounce (31.1035 grammes). Weigh them all together and then you should get an accurate figure. Remember silver is at a 30-year high (October 2010)
The Babylonians had no coinage but they used, besides barly and wheat, ingots of gold and silver as standards of value and mediums of exchange.
The value of Franklin Mint and other private mint sets are based primarily the silver bullion value, but other factors include rarity, condition, attractiveness, completeness, etc. Start with the bullion value. The Rockwell's Fondest Memories set has 10 1500-grain sterling silver ingots. Silver bullion value as of today is calculated as follows: (1500 grains*10 ingots = 15000 grains; 15000 grains/480 grains/oz = 31.25 troy oz Sterling; 31.25 oz * 0.925 purity = 28.9 oz. pure silver; 28.9 oz silver @ $13.67/oz = $395). The silver price is constantly changing, so the bullion value changes with it. This particular set is not unusually rare. If you are buying this set from a coin dealer or website, expect to pay a 20%-30% premium over the bullion value. If you are selling, expect to get an offer of 20%-30% less. For details of this particular set, you can check it out on my website at http://www.franklin-mint-silver.com/franklin-mint-rockwells-fondest-memories-ingots.htm.
3/14/2009 - I have found 2-silver collections at $800 and $825. I found 3-Bronze collections at $315, $595 and $695. These amounts are the result of my purchasing a collection of silver ingots today which are missing a couple of pieces and seem to have a couple of duplicates A Most people think there are only 24 ingots in set, but there are 48 ingots in a complete set, so Iguess the value would depend on if you have a set of 24 or a complete set of 48. I know there are 48 because I have them. I think a real value would be hard to place on them. Depending on how many where produced. But as of today silver is $13.50 an oz.
25cents
Each ingot is worth about $300. The whole set is 300 x 36.
Assuming you refer to the Franklin Mint boxed set of 50 silver ingots depicting British Monarchs from 973 to 1973, starting prices on the internet commence at around £600 and go up to £5,000 GBP. Value would depend on the condition of the ingots, the packaging and the inclusion of the Certificate of Authenticity.
There isn't really any numismatic or collector value to coins from places like the Hamilton and Franklin mints, so the value is primarily for the silver content. As of 18 July 2012, the market price of silver is $27.17 per ounce.
"take the price of silver per oz right now 32.35 is the high today, theres 36 ingots each weighing 5.7 ounces so thats a little over $6600 dollars in silver" I do not believe this is correct . . . First I know the bars are actually 5.2 ounces, but more importantly, 2500 grain means that these are not FINE silver. So these 5.2 oz bars are prob only about 85%-90% silver. THEN refineries would charge 15% - 20% to make fine silver bars.
