<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 2095677, member: 23368"]A tough sell. These would only appeal to young and new collectors. Like yourself, they usually don't have money to buy coins when just starting a collection. Saving them from occasional pocket change is more affordable. Your only coins of substance are the Indian Heads and V nickels. Take what you can from a dealer on these, or try several dealers if you have that option. You can't afford to advertise them nor pay fees to sell them. You would loose too much of your profit, (If any). The dimes, quarters, halves and dollar coins are just plain spenders, regardless if they look nice. You could find enough in rolls, even-up from the bank, if you don't mind putting in the time. See if you can sell the rest at a coin club meeting, if they would even let you do that. Usually only members can sell or trade among themselves. Maybe your Dad would buy the balance and put them away until your his age, then see if any have become collectible. Your whole lot is worth $15.05 at face value. If common and worn, and if you can make $10-$20 total on the Indian Heads and V nickels, take the money and run. Otherwise you will waste a lot of your time in an effort to liquidate them. Common and worn anything does not have a great return to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
