<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2583569, member: 5233&quot;]So, I&#039;m going through a lot of my old collection from my childhood and trying to downsize and reinvest into a handful of nicer pieces.&nbsp; I&#039;ve reached that point where I would rather have 25 nice coins than 1000 junky ones.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that I have found is...I have a number (probably 40-50) of low grade Indian Head Cents.&nbsp; A few are cleaned and a few others damaged...but the majority are simply low grade coins.&nbsp; Many very common dates, no rare dates but a few 1880s...so not the most common.&nbsp; I would say a couple dollars each at best.&nbsp; I don&#039;t really think it is worth the time to photograph each one individually and try to sell them as singles.&nbsp; Sure, I might make a few more dollars (literally) if they all sell...but I feel like something like this is better/easier sold in lots of 10 coins or so.&nbsp; Again, I might not maximize profits, but I think it would be a whole heck of a lot easier.&nbsp; Any thoughts?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What my goal is...I&#039;d like to try and sell down the bulk of my collection and reinvest it into a few nicer pieces.&nbsp; The flip side of it is this.&nbsp; My guess is, I might be able to sell all my &quot;junky&quot; coins for a few hundred dollars.&nbsp; That might buy me a couple nicer coins...give or take.&nbsp; The other option is...do I save them for my two sons who might one day get their own interest (if not I could always sell them then).&nbsp; I could also keep a handful for them and sell the rest.&nbsp; Thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I have a canvas bag of old, dirty, junky wheat back cents.&nbsp; I mean, these are the filthiest, grungiest wheaties you&#039;ve ever seen.&nbsp; My bathroom scale says it&#039;s 13.4 pounds.&nbsp; The truth is, I won it in a contest here years ago and never did anything with it.&nbsp; I started to search through it but they coins were so beat up I decided it wasn&#039;t worth it.&nbsp; What would be the best way to get rid of them?&nbsp; Part of me is tempted just to take it to the bank...but I don&#039;t know if that is a good plan.&nbsp; Based on the weight, it&#039;s probably $19 in cents or so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
