[QUOTE="EasyE418, post: 2142856, member: 74518"]Heh... I wish I could. Yeah, that is what I am thinking. The pain comes when I started looking at how many Silver Eagles and Silver 1oz coins I have. It is just so overwhelming to even imagine listing each one on eBay, paying 10% fees, shipping, insurance,etc. Sorry, I sold to APMEX, they gave me spot price + 100 for a handful of my coins. I think I sold them 5 more common Gold eagles. We sold some of the big guns right away and it was frustrating losing $500-$600 bucks to eBay. I have about 6-7 safes full of coins.
