<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8479763, member: 24754&quot;]I&#039;ve never dealt with something like this, so can&#039;t offer advice from experience. But there are some generalizations that can be made fairly easily.</p><p><br /></p><p>The easiest approach would be to sell them all to a coin dealer in one go. The obvious downside of this is that it will also net you the least money. I also have to admit that I generally have an aversion to &quot;dealers&quot; in collectables markets. There is something organically beautiful about people building collections of otherwise useless items just because you have some specific appreciation for them. People skimming profits as middle men in these transactions just makes it all feel a bit dirty.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay seems like a different option, but in this case, Ebay is serving as the middle man instead of some guy (CNG and other auction companies fit into this category). You will net more money doing it this way, but it will also require a lot more work (creating listings, packaging, shipping, etc, etc). Also, depending on whether your coins are raw or slabbed, Ebay may not be the place (people are overly suspicious of raw coins on Ebay). If you want to use an auction house for raw coins, then I&#039;d personally use CNG or something along those lines (They take 20%+ though).</p><p><br /></p><p>Which brings us to the preferred, but also not ideal option, directly selling to other collectors. This will potentially net you the most money, but involves all of the work stated above while also being the riskiest choice. It&#039;s risky because there aren&#039;t any convenient, free, online resources available for selling coins where one person doesn&#039;t have to trust the other to not rip them off (CoinTalk Sale forums for example). You can avoid having coins stolen by not shipping until payment is received, but the pool of buyers will be smaller unless they know you can be trusted.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, I personally would break the coins up into different pools and figure out how each grouping should be handled. Your $2000 coin should be treated differently than your piles of $10 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, probably not anything in all that rambling that you didn&#039;t already know, but that&#039;s my 2 cents <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
