<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1312667, member: 23885"]Some of you may have run across the youtube video I made. Anyhow, out of the coins I inherited from my grandpa there is a small hoard of mercury dimes. Except for the 2 over 1, most are common dates are grade about F-VF. The current value of each of the mercs seems to be between 4-6 dollars. I have been seriously debating what to do with these coins. It would be great if I could sell like half of them, and put them into my favorite coins (Bust/Barber Quarter, Bust/Barber Half). I would also like to continue saving for my dream "1795 flowing hair half." I guess my question is how could I get maximum optimization on my mercury dimes? What would you do, or what has worked in the past with selling mid grade mercs? I was thinking about selling on ebay in groups of 5-10. I'd like to hold on to atleast half for future investment purposes. My worry is that if I part with them now, than the value per merc could be about 10 dollars in 5-10 years, and I would have an opportunity cost of a few thousand dollars. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Jason[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
