[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 3756978, member: 74624"]I got rid of around 10000 wheat cents a few years. I had them separated by decade. Any semi key/key dates were kept separate. A local dealer paid me 3x face value for dates in the 30's, 40's, 50's. I think he paid 4x for dates in the 20's and 5x for anything before that. I had about 500 IHC and he paid me 50 cents each. Again, anything that was XF or better I kept separate so he could give me a quote individually. I think I had a number of 1909 VDB and 1914-S Lincoln's. I took a friend to the same dealer to sell her late mother's collection. Most silver was treated as bulk as well as the gold. I set aside a few nice large cents and sent them to NGC before having her send them to Great Collections to be auctioned. The overall price she got for those coins was considerably more than what the dealer offered, even after factoring in NGC fees and seller fees. I do see many slabbed, circulated common silver coins being sold that would be considered bulk if not in a slab. The cost of getting the coins graded and slabbed definitely was not worth it.[/QUOTE]
