[QUOTE="AnkurJ, post: 1485185, member: 37561"]Since no one has yet said this, I will. If you beleive that you purchased problem free coins, take the top 20% of your raw coins, and send them in for grading. Graded coins are MUCH easier to sell than a mountain of raw coins. It takes much of the guess work out of valuing them. I had a collection of raw large cents and realized quickly they are much more liquid being slabbed. Yes it will cost money to get them slabbed (approx $16 per coin via PCGS Economy), but I firmly beleive you will make more in the long run. Those who say coin collecting is a hobby not an investment. I ask this question. You INVEST your TIME and MONEY. How is it NOT an investment? Frankly I dont have either of those two to waste. I have made a good amount in coins, and there have been very few circumstances that I have actually lost money selling. At the end of the day, if you buy quality, you cant go wrong. My 2 cents.[/QUOTE]
