[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3039576, member: 92655"]Been reading the thread with some trepidation. Then I looked at your profile and I see you are fifteen. Now, I want to sincerely applaud your entrepreneurial spirit! I been collecting for fifty years and have two distinct collections. I have my young collection that consists of piles of coins like you described. Then I have my adult collection. I also have something of a hoarder spirit I suppose because I still have them all. Only recently have I been able to make myself “thin the herd” so to speak. Fact is, most dealers really don’t want much to deal in fifty cent coins. So what’s left? A garage sale!! Why the heck not?!?! I seriously doubt anyone is going to pin you down on a grade over a fifty cent wheatie at a garage sale. If they do, they have deeper issues they need to tend to. How about this.. Set up four bowls of various coins. Fifty cent bowl.... Dollar bowl.... Two dollar bowl... And ask for price bowl..... Something along those lines. And know this. People at garage sales want to haggle. So put your fifty cent coins in the dollar bowl. People can haggle and everyone walks away a winner. Heck yes man.
