<p>[QUOTE=&quot;marid3, post: 1599066, member: 35968&quot;]How to transition my collection?</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>I’m seeking some advice from knowledgeable collectors and hopefully some dealers.&nbsp; I have a bunch of lower end coins, and would like to move into some higher end (key-date) pieces, for a few reasons (lack of space, lack of interest in so many duplicate/similar coins, etc.)&nbsp; Specifically: </p><p>Phase 1 - Sell a lot of Wheat Cents, Buffalo Nickels, Silver Nickels, 40% silver Kennedy halves </p><p>Phase 2 – Sell junk 90% silver, Kennedy and Franklin Halves, Washington Quarters, Roosevelt &amp; Merc. Dimes</p><p>Phase 3 – Sell smaller quantities of extra Indian Head, V-Nickels, Foreign Coins, silver dollars, etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Situation:&nbsp; I don’t NEED to sell these.&nbsp; I don’t want to take a huge loss for being lazy, but also given that in Phase 1 and 2, there are hundreds of coins each, it’s probably not worth the time to photo and list each separately.&nbsp; I don’t check for errors-if I see really obvious errors (naked eye), I’ll set them aside, but I’m NOT a cherry-picker.&nbsp; I do recognize that a reputable dealer needs compensated for their work and margin.&nbsp; I don’t want to be a dealer and unless really justified, don’t want the expense of buying equipment to get good digital photos for a one-time liquidation.&nbsp; I don’t think I have a Local Coin Shop in my area, but let me know if I’m wrong. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>What are your thoughts and recommendations for how to go about this, specifically Phase 1 and 2? </b> What kind of fee is fair for both sides?&nbsp; E-bay?&nbsp; Online-mega-wholesaler?&nbsp; CT classifieds? Craigslist? Magazine Classified Ad?&nbsp; Other?&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>P.S. If your recommendation is to go with a local coin shop, and you know of one you like in <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/member.php?u=35968" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/member.php?u=35968">my area</a> <i><u>please</u></i> let me know (private message).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
