[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2660010, member: 1892"]Your return will increase proportionally with the amount of effort invested in marketing them. Wholesale to a dealer, the fact that slabbed Morgans - especially Carson City Morgans - are [I]really[/I] liquid is balanced out by the fact that they're [I]really[/I] available. I should think that, wholesale, you won't do a lot better than a non-CC Morgan in terms of percentage back of retail (although of course that'll be a larger number than those from other mints). You'll do better with a Carson City specialist like Northern Nevada Coin than a less-specialized dealer, of course. I hope I'm wrong, but I'd think any reasonable dealer would default to wanting a bare minimum of 25% guaranteed return. On the other hand, liquidating them via public auction at "retail" carries the risk of audience variance, and adds the load of auction fees. The difference in what you actually realize from the sale might not compensate for the effort required, if you're unlucky.
