<p>[QUOTE="AtlantaMan, post: 25369562, member: 158885"]Hi - I am new to the forum, and this is my first post.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have an old collection encompassing some thousands of coins. I've gone through every coin and tried to triangulate the value and grade using the CoinSnap app and the 2024 Red Book and then put them in a coin flip. I started around Thanksgiving and it is now Memorial Day. Generally, each coin is probably worth <$50 each and they encompass a variety of types such as half cents; large one cents; two cents; liberty, shield, buffalo and war nickels; Indian head pennies; barber and mercury dimes, Franklin half dollars, Morgan dollars, Peace dollars, etc. etc., Generally, they range from $1 up to around $50 or so. Many are <$15. And, of course, there is another thousand or so of wheat pennies from 1909 VDB (not S) up through the 1970's. Each might be worth from 2+ cents...maybe. Because of the cost, it doesn't seem worth slabbing any of them. That being said, the value does add up because of the number of coins. </p><p>QUESTION - I am willing to invest time and effort to maximize the sale price of these coins. Local coins show and coin clubs in my area really don't exist. So, I am at a bit of a loss as to how to get maximum value for these coins. I was thinking Ebay, but I don't know for sure. i can spread the sales over months and even longer. Any recommendation from the forum members is most welcome. Thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
