<p>[QUOTE="lbeachmike, post: 1713837, member: 49484"]Well, if you got Walkers for 17.50/dollar, you did well because my primary dealer is currently paying me about $17/dollar for junk while spot was at $22.95. I don't expect he'll be willing to pay more for walkers or barbers, and selling them on ebay adds cost and would become somewhat of a wash.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't want to hold these coins. I've been setting aside key date coins, or particularly nice ones to hold onto, but the goal is to sell the bulk and particularly the junk coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>This would be a ridiculous amount to sit on. There are a lot of nice CC Morgans I'll probably hold. There are some Bust Halves and a really nice foreign collection I'll probably hold.

I've been hoping for a bounce, but it hasn't happened that way. It took three decades to reach the higher levels - I'd rather have my money in the stock market with more predictable gains, and hang onto the collectible coins which have numismatic value not reliant on silver value - and hang onto anything I especially like. But don't get me wrong - it pains me to sell a lot of this stuff. ****, I've not even gotten to the gold coins yet <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
