The first week of January I posted some collecting plans for 2025. Just about the first thing I realized was that 4 of those coins (If they show up), will cost more than my regular budget. I have spent weeks trying to make a coin list to sell this Spring. Changes daily. i have decided to post some of the coins that are on the bubble in hope of a final consignment. James
@samclemens3991 what makes these on the bubble? Are they part of any sets or just miscellaneous acquisitions over the years? Do you have an idea of what you expect them to sell for? How does that compare to your original cost (if you are taking into account profit/loss)? The answers to some of those questions might help you decide if they are worth keeping or selling. Also, something to consider is that Anacs slabs can sell at a discount compared to PCGS and NGC (not saying it is worth crossing-just something to know). However, the one coin in the older small white Anacs holder might do better as people prefer these to the newer Anacs holders.
@ddddd . Thanks for the feedback. I was hoping seeing them in picture might give me direction. These are all coins i have owned more than 15 years. Picture is bad but the 20 cent piece actually has a full Liberty. Something the grading services have not required for this grade for years now from what I can tell. My biggest problem is that i usually have a specific target so i know what to sell for the amount I need. In this case I am trying to buy coins that might never show up for sale and if they do . How Much will they cost? James
My opinion (not knowing all the details of course) would be to let go all of these if it means you can buy a coin that rarely shows up. While there are some solid coins here, none are rare (all show up frequently enough on the market). Now if there is something sentimental to any of these, that would change my thinking. But if all are just coins you have owned for a long time and not really thought about much, then turn them into something you will enjoy more.
Thanks. That is just what I did decide. I have been working on coins; Seated Dimes and Seated Quarters from pre 1853. I have no idea if the one's i want will show up but i will have my war chest ready. James
If it has a full LIBERTY then it grades better than a F-12. On the 20 cent pice LIBERTY is about the highest point on the coin and wore away quickly. On the other seated coins you had to have a full LIBERTY to make Fine, but they all hve the letters incuse. On the 20 cent they are raised and usually coins less than VF don't have full LIBERTY.
