I bought a huge bag of damaged world and us coins for $10. There are about 10 large cents, 10 2 cent pieces, and 5 Indian heads. They are all bright copper colored, like they sat in ketchup for a month. Should I sell them all in a lot, or should I try piecing them out? IH's. 1 no date 2 no date "fatty" 3. 1901 4. 1905 5. 1874 6. 1885 7. 1885 8. no date 2 cents. 1. 1864 2. 1869 3. no date 4. no dtae 5. 1869 6. 1867 7. 1864 8. 1867 9. 1868 LC's. 1. 1853 2. 1831 3. 1832 4. no date 5. 1819 6. 18xx 7. 1848 8. 1837 9. 1847 10. 1824 I'm thinking I should sell these in the 3 denominations? For $10, I think I should get at least $20 for them on feebay. There is also about 1-2 pounds of tokens and other world coins in with it I've yet to sort through,
I would piece them out. BTW, that 1943 cent looks funny. Is the copper color only in the picture? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Is that a copper 1943 in the bottom of the last image? If it is, sell it as a lot, they are far too common to bother listing it individually. But really, the coins are so badly damaged it wouldn't hurt to give them a better cleaning and sell the nicer ones individually. For ten bucks, you can't loose.
Actually the wheat penny is a two headed coin. Kind of fooled me at first until I found a seam on the edge. Someone did a good job of making it.
You're supposedly a "dealer" now, Tim; therefore you need to know how to sell your own inventory, without asking us, widget or otherwise.
Come on now Books, you expect him to take his own advice and search for his own answers? Rock tumbler, yep rock tumbler for sure
A long way from the worst looking pile I've ever seen I'd be tempted to try something like verdicare on the copper (I've never tried it yet but I've heard good things from other ct members) and try to get them more presentable especially the large cents you'd likely get more for them that way
