[QUOTE="Josh Meehl, post: 3273961, member: 100125"]Hello, all! I've recently inherited my grandfathers coin collection. He collected a hoard from 1984-1986 as an investor, not as a numismatist. I've gone through the collection and reviewed for Cherrypicker's varieties. I am looking to liquidate the collection and am looking for advice on several issues. The collection is comprised of: - (3) 1941-'47 Walking Liberty 50C in Dansco albums (20 coins each) - (3) 1971-'78 Ike $1 in Dansco albums (32 coins each) - (174) "Mint" Morgan $1, including: [INDENT]- (20) 1882-CC GSA Hoard - (40) 1885-O[/INDENT] - (22) "Mint" Peace $1 - (2) 1941-'45 Mercury 10C in holders (15 coins each) 1) The king of the collection is a [URL='http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/145787']1941-S/S[/URL] Walker. Sent it to PCGS and it came back as "Genuine Cleaned-UNC Detail". Any advice on how to go about marketing this coin? Do I submit to NGC to get a grade? 2) I sent may of the more valuable Morgans and Walkers to PCGS. Per the original invoices from the coins, they were "mint".

I cherrypicked the best 2 from the 20, and got a MS65 and MS64. 4) For the Dansco albums, is it best to sell a full album, or to sell the best coins piecemeal? 5) Is it worth the effort to sell coins individually, or to sell in bulk to a dealer? I have many more questions, but these are the main ones. I appreciate any advice![/QUOTE]
