<p>[QUOTE=&quot;King_George_Va, post: 2918269, member: 52567&quot;]Let me add another, more computerize way, that I think will allow you to personally auction the whole set or individual coins, at your preference based on the bids you receive.</p><p><br /></p><p>List all your coins on a spreadsheet with each type of coin on a separate tab. As others have mentioned, include a column with a retail price from an acceptable source, add a column with your grade opinion, and in another column if they have been slabbed. Add columns like mintage or estimated survival number, if you think it may help. Sort each type of coin by value. Then take high-resolution pictures of the (obverse/reverse/edge) coins and for each coin add the pictures of the coin to the spreadsheet. It may be time-saving but may cost you money, if you do not take pictures of lower graded coins. Find, through advertisement and maybe someway else like coin show participants, dealers email addresses. Also, consider sending the spreadsheet to auction houses and member of CoinTalk or other websites you know. Email the spreadsheet to all reputable dealers and dealers that are otherwise.&nbsp; Ask them if they would like to buy the collection or any of the individual coins.&nbsp; Have a column that they can fill in for their bid for each individual coin they would like to buy, another column for all each individual type of coin that they would like to buy and a place for the price of the entire collection.&nbsp; Direct them, in your email,&nbsp; which columns to fill in for the coin(s), type collections, or entire the collection that they would like to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, consider creating a website that lists your coins and their pictures with your asking price.&nbsp; Setup an arrangement with PayPal to handle payments.&nbsp; Make all sales final with no returns. </p><p><br /></p><p>After all of this, the question is what to do with the coins that did not attract any interest. How much of a discount are you willing to sell this for. Sell to deal or friend or coin show participant, or coin club (individuals or auction them at the coin club.)&nbsp; Consider donating them an writing them off your taxes. Seed them to the younger generation in your family to create an interest in coin collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps even if it is a small help</p><p><br /></p><p>Best of luck,</p><p><br /></p><p>King_George_VA[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
