<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1834503, member: 37839"]When I sold my entire Morgan collection a few years back, I was extremely careful. First, you don't want to advertise to the average person that you have an entire Morgan collection, inasmuch as you're talking big money if it is in decent grade MS (and a few AU coins for the impossible dates). You contact a very limited circle of high-end collectors and dealers who are willing to pay top prices for quality coins in a complete series. This is the way not to waste your own time, and make yourself vulnerable to a scam. Believe me, if you make it known to superior dealers and some highly specialized collectors that you have a registry set quality group of Morgans to be moved, your best bet is finding an honest, high end, sincere dealer to act as liaison. Doug is right on the dealer aspect. As regards selling for "a bit more than melt," if they're good quality, that simply isn't true, if you are selling a whole set as a unit. A full set of MS Morgans, with 89CC, 93s, 1884s and 1895s as AU will sell rapidly to a high end collector for good money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
