Hi All I have a bulk amount of more current world coins and I am wondering what you all do with them. My FIL collected and left me some amazing world coins but some are from the 70s, 80s+ and I'd like to pare down. I've heard of giving them out on Halloween (no traffic at my house) or donating them to a new, young collector but I don't know of any. (Sorry if this is a repeat of another thread) The only other thing I can think of is selling them bulk on ebay and then shipping would be fun.... TIA
You could list them and post on the requisite forum. Some members may require some to fill holes in collections and may also be up to swapping. Just a thought
Youth organizations; Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, YMCA, YMWA, Y-Indian Guides, etc. would probably love to have some and it might get the younger generation into collecting. Other than that, selling them by the pound is about it. KB Auctions and eBay have them on all of the time.
If you sell on ebay, ship in a small flat rate box... about 8 bucks. I have sold that way before and it works well. Use a lot of tape. I may be interested if you would like to PM me some photos.
Thanks for the response on how to ship it. I need to get organized and I will send you pics when I have bulk lots setup.
This is my usual go-to for excess coins. After searching them for errors, oddities, and whatnot, of course.
