If you go to one, make sure you with someone who knows how to deal with these shows or you will get taken. [B]Since you are in no hurry. [/B] To get the best money you can for those coins, sell them on eBay. DO NOT JUST LIST THEM WITH CRAPPY PICS AND SHORT LITTLE Descriptions. There are a lot of guys like me who look for certain types of listing for the deals! GO get a point and shoot with a super macro function and a little desktop tripod. Sit down one night and shoot all the coins, front and back. drop each one into a numbered flip so you know which one goes with which picture. Create an eBay account. Search other listings for the same coin to use as a template for your listing. PUt them up as a Buy it Now prices. Use the redbook prices if you want and say so in your listing - do not list grades on the coins or in your listing. Couple key points, the better your pictures, the better the price you will get. Take your time to get the pics right, crop them square. Remember you have time on your side, so take your time. You don't have to list them all at once, you can put whatever prices you want to start and then drop them if they aren't selling - lots of little marketing things you can do to bring attention to the listings like a couple no reserve auctions ending on sundays or maybe a couple of coins ending each night from your Buy it Now listings. I wouldn't ever take any coins to any show to sell ever~! not with out a personal reference and a companion during the deal. You will be fresh meat in a pool of sharks.[/QUOTE]
