selling some of my collection, any ideas on worth?

of course not!
I've got several silver coins, 10-30 UNC nickels, 40 steel cents, 25 ancient coins, 40-50 foreign coins, 10-20 2009 cents, 20 random dated wheat cents, 1 * note, over 800 copper cents, 1 1917 s buffalo nickel, and tons more.

You aren't going to get much for the collection, and I wouldn't imagine you are strapped for cash trying to pay off phone bills or house payments. So why sell the collection? You have maybe $40-50 worth of stuff. You can buy a peace dollar at melt and a few other things. I personally would wait until I have more inventory to sell of before selling these. But in the end they are your coins and it is your choice as to what happens to them.

 

You will have to sell them as one lot. There isn't anything that would sell separately on it's own merit. Being a lot sale, you could get less than face for it on an under bid. The two bills, I would just use to acquire what ever you plan to use the cash on. The serial numbers are not collectable even to beginners. They only have value to you because you were the finder. I would take the wheat's and zinc out of the penny rolls and go to the bank (with the other roll) and get paper currency. That's about all you will get for them anyway. Then you don't have to pay to ship them. The weight alone will be offset in postage for any copper value you could receive. If you try and pass shipping to the buyer, he will have the same problem. Then try and sell your nickels, the few foreign and one Roman coin as your lot. I think what you will learn from the selling end, will be worth more than any profit you will realize.

 

just the answer I was looking for, thanks!

 

Hey Friend,

Like everyone else is saying, I'm not sure why you would want to sell your collection? If its that you've decided that coin collecting isn't for you, well that just makes sense then. But if its because you're trying to raise money to buy something else it might be best finding other ways to raise the money. I've often sold things to buy other things, and more often than not i've found myself wishing id just raised the money another way rather than parting with things that id grown more attached to than id realized

 

Take the money and buy a lawn mower, it's summer and lawns need mowed.

 

I don't have grass here, yet.

 

You will soon.

 

ya' sure? the only grass out here is 20 acres of alfalfa and weeds.

 

Well then, get yourself a plow and go plow that 20 acres.

 

already done

 

kid, my advice to you is grow up.....i mean cmon, you aren't even smart enough to drive a car, let alone sell your coins......maybe you should just tell your mom you are thinking of giving up coin collecting to pursue a career as a stuntman and tell her that unless she gives you 100 dollars your new life starts tomorrow......then take said money and buy some silver.....please note that my entire post is nonsense and I don't believe a word I just said......it may be immature but then again, I am talking to a thirteen year old. For real though, don't get caught up in always upgrading all of your collection because you are young and someday, if coins become a life long obsession, you will not be able to put a price on the sentimental value of your early coins....they will be worth more than you can know someday and you could always save them to pass on to your kids. My opinion only but hey, whatevs.
