<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbreeze, post: 3012599, member: 86726&quot;]Over the years, I have acquired a good number of coins in different collections/deals that I have purchased.&nbsp; In trying to inventory and sell them, I have started with Canada.&nbsp; I do not collect Canadian coins, so I am trying to organize and sell all of the coins that don&#039;t fit my main collection.&nbsp; I have put together a loose inventory of the coins and would hope to sell them as a group.</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of things to consider...</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins grade from &quot;man, that&#039;s ugly&quot; to uncirculated.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some varieties that were listed on the original holders and checked out, but I don&#039;t want to go through them and variety hunt, I don&#039;t have the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t sell on eBay and would think that most people would consider this junk if it was listed as a large Canadian collection without pics of all of the better coins...sorta like an &quot;unsorted estate find&quot; or something similar.</p><p><br /></p><p>My first consideration (and laziest, obviously) was to just ship them to a large Canadian coin dealer and be done with it.&nbsp; After realizing that the cost of shipping something from the US to Canada is only slightly less than the GDP of a small country and that forms needed to be filled out, I quickly realized that this was not going to happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you guys/gals have had any experience with anything similar, I would love to hear your thoughts on potential pricing or venues.&nbsp; Even if you haven&#039;t had something similar, I would love to hear any thoughts you have on the subject, in general, as I have more stuff to get through after this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know how difficult it is to be specific with no specific info to go on, but I am looking more for ideas to explore than I am for a price point, etc.&nbsp; I can provide some of the raw numbers.&nbsp; In looking at these, I would say that the whole group is typical to an average collector&#039;s coins.&nbsp; There are some nicer items while most will fall into generic categories.&nbsp; Also, there are better dates but a lot of commons.&nbsp; Finally, sadly, there are a number of coins that were cleaned for no apparent reason because they already fell into a lower grade category (never have really understood that).</p><p><br /></p><p>A snapshot of the pre George VI coins:</p><p><br /></p><p>23 Pre-Confederation Tokens</p><p>30 Victorian Pennies</p><p>10 Victorian provincial coppers</p><p>15 Edwardian Pennies</p><p>17 George V Large Pennies</p><p>140 George V Small Pennies</p><p>49 Silver 5 Cents (Victoria to GV)</p><p>16 Silver 10 Cents (Victoria to GV)</p><p>2 Silver 25 Cents (GV)</p><p>14 Silver 50 Cents (Ed to GV)</p><p>10-15 Newfoundland pieces</p><p>a few mint/proof sets, etc. (EII-60s and later)</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you in advance for any suggestions, ideas, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
