<p>[QUOTE=&quot;redfisharmy, post: 720065, member: 20731&quot;]I am looking for advice and comments on selling an old coin collection (accumulation). I am an avid and active coin collector, but over the past years I have gotten into more higher grade slabbed coins. I inhereted a pretty sizeable collection from my father, and I am now looking to sell the extras and not sure the best way to proceed. I have created some sets of the raw coins, and I will keep those in my collection. I have gone through the remaining coins and have determined the bid and ask values and have placed them into 2X2 flips. In total, the extra coins would seem to have decent value, and would like to sell them either piece-meal or in total and then use that money to buy more slabbed coins. For me this is as much a question of sentimental value as anything as the slabbed coins I buy from the proceeds will still be considered to me as coming from my father. I think most of you will understand this. This is the background.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The collection is mainly coppers (IHC, Lincolns), raw buffalos, and a horde of silver coins. On the coppers, anything with a bid value of less than a couple of dollars I just put into a large container and will save this for future grandkids to sort thru and hopefully give them the coin bug. Same for the buffalos and other non-silver coins. On the non-silver coins, the question for me is at what bid value is it worth trying to sell versus just adding to the junk box?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the silver coins, when I look at the bid/ask values, many of them seem to have value above melt. I have placed the common date roosevelt and mercury dimes, washington quarters, and walker / franklin halves into a bulk silver container. My question is basically at what bid value above melt is it worth selling individually vs. just as bulk silver?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know there are no single or right answers to my questions, but I know a lot of collectors and dealers use this board so I wanted to get your thoughts and opinions as to how to proceed. Thank you for your time and any advice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
