Message:: [QUOTE="redfisharmy, post: 720801, member: 20731"]Thanks to all for the well thought out answers, much appreciated. I will use the advise, but in the end it seems the decision will be based on how much time and effort I want to put into it. I am not contemplating selling my entire collection, I am still very active.  Most of the key dates I want to keep in the sets I have built.  I was probably not clear, but what I am trying to sell is the "accumulation" that I inhereted.  My main question is related to the non-key silver coins.  For example, when I categorized my mercury dimes, I separated out coins that have bid values above $3 as saleable above melt at today's silver price.  Not much money per coin, but when you have several thousand of them, on paper this seems like a lot of money, almost enough to finally get that 26S PCGS-64 Bullalo I still need.  But in reality, how much will I really end-up getting for those several thousand mercurys, and how much time/effort will be involved.  Then there are the quarters, then the halves, etc. That was sort of the thought process I was going thru when trying to figure out how to begin getting the acumulation ready for sale.  Thanks again.[/QUOTE]
