<p>[QUOTE="DJP7x0s, post: 156246, member: 5336"]Hey thanks for all the great advice. People on here are way more willing to help than I had ever imagined. And Victor, I liked what you said about kepping it all american, widely recognized and easily liquidated. Which is something I had been thinking about already, but now that youve said it, I realise your right it is the best thing todo, make sure everything I invest in is easily liquidated. And as far as gold rather than silver, Ill consider that. I would still need to buy mostly silver though to support my habbit of wanting to own bulk amounts. Right now, my entire collection is either High End Slabbed coins, collections in folders, or rolls of extra Type coins, with way too much variety. Most of the good stuff I have, either my grandfather or my father bought me. They used to take me to the coin shop, and would match what ever I spent, times 10, but they would pick what they would buy for my collection. Usually either Key Dates or High End Slabbed type coins. And the rest of my collection is stuff I bought to fill folders, or just what ever I wanted. It is only now that Im realising that I have alot of worth in coins, but with such a wide variety, its going to take for ever and alot of time and effort to try to sell it all. So, Im going with victors advice, Im going to sell off just about everything, and reinvest into stuff that is easily liquidated. </p><p> So far I have sold only a few of my lowest grade common coins, to get a feel for selling on Ebay. I sold 2 Seated Halves, $4.10 face value of Barber coins, a roll of Indian cents, a roll of 1936 Buffalos, and a once a year set of common cull nickles, for a grand total of $379, keep in mind every coin was culled and nasty except for the 1936 Buffalo roll they were decent. And this week I listed 6 auctions of Error coins and foreign silver. So once I sell that, Ill buy my first bag of Silver. See what kind of assortment I get, and pull some of the better stuff out to sell when Im listing other auctions anyhow. <span style="color: RED">Edited to conform to forum rules</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
