<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whizb4ng, post: 1811591, member: 54140&quot;]I have just recently begun selling my coins. Getting rid of some of the lower quality ones I naively bought for under $10 and thinking they were a &#039;steal&#039;. On top of that I have been e-mailing back and forth with a fellow collector and am testing out his method. He will often go to a show and pick through the &#039;junk bins&#039; and toss them on ebay starting at 2 bucks (what he paid). He has gotten some stellar results. While it may not work the best for me I find it fun and relaxing. Plus if I do make a profit (my sales on ebay this week paid for the Pecunem coin) it is a bonus.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only problem with this method is that all of the coins I pick out of the bins I generally want to keep myself. I have some Newfoundland cents up right now that I had a lot of trouble hitting the &#039;submit&#039; button because I really like the coins. I can honestly say there was a couple of American coins that I bought that never made it up onto ebay and will reside in my collection as an example of the type. I am not the biggest collector of American coins and care not about having &#039;key dates&#039; or anything of the like. I simply just one common example of a lot of the types. They don&#039;t have to be amazing. I like and respect the design of early American coinage and find much of it quite beautiful (that lady liberty was a fox).</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the grammar I try to do my best but I admit that I am fairly out of practice since I graduated Uni and let my writing skills fall to the side of the road. Hopefully that will all change soon though! I have just heard that there is light at the end of the tunnel and when my term ends at the job I currently hold another will be waiting for me (fingers crossed) in my previous workplace. I just have to convince them to bring me back! It is then a two year term (eek that is a committment) during which I can take the necessary classes to qualify for my M.A. in Classical History! Also, I may be able to take those classes for free (sometimes I enjoy working for a University)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
