<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2798603, member: 112&quot;]Lemme ask you a point blank question, what are your expectations in a monetary sense ? Are you expecting to get more than what you paid for them, what you paid for them, or some fraction of what you paid for them ? </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m asking that because your answer would probably have an impact on how you decide to go about selling them. Ya see, by selling them in album form, even the 50&#039;s and 60&#039;s coins, about the best you can expect is some fraction of whatever you paid. And that&#039;s based on assuming that you only paid fair market price at whatever time you bought them. And if you paid higher than fair market price, and that&#039;s what most do actually, then your fraction gets smaller.</p><p><br /></p><p>So do ya see what I mean ? If you want to get the most you can out of your coins you&#039;re going to have to sell them 1 at a time. Or maybe, stress maybe, single year sets. But doing that requires a lot of time and work, and of course you will also have to pay seller&#039;s fees. All of which will eat into and reduce whatever it is you expect to get out of these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now maybe you&#039;ll be different, maybe you had no illusions going in. But the sad fact is about 95% collectors lose money if and when they sell their collections. By the time it&#039;s all said and done it&#039;s not unusual for you to only get about 50% of whatever it cost you. Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less - but that&#039;s reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>And sometimes, when a collector faces that reality, he decides not to sell the coins at all. Others will just except it and move on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
