<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ldhair, post: 26217718, member: 11540&quot;]I forgot something. I&#039;m having a blast selling but it&#039;s a lot of work. It&#039;s almost like starting all over collecting. I&#039;ll pull out a set I built 50 years ago and check for varieties and grade each coin again. </p><p>I found I was a really tough grader back then. I found many varieties I didn&#039;t know about in my albums and they made great money at auction.</p><p>My coin conservation skills came back into use. I was able to save many coins but had to have ICG conserve 10 or 12 high dollar coins. They were beyond my skills. They do great work. They came back as problem coins but sold at crazy prices. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now for the sad parts.</p><p>$12,000 in grading fees with PCGS so far but still made money on most coins. </p><p>Many problem coins but only 2 counterfeit IHCs so far. I&#039;ll post a thread on those once I get images.</p><p>Now I have to do something with all the empty albums and binders. Don&#039;t even want to think what they cost me.</p><p>Another thing that surprised me were the cost of flips. You need a bunch when taking albums apart. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s been fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
