<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2172724, member: 4373&quot;]I&#039;m at the stage in life where I need to free up some cash. So far it&#039;s not too bad but it doesn&#039;t hurt to have more savings just in case something happens.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I look at my coin collection - perhaps it has gone out of control as I have boxes of them, ranging from mere change to bulky books. I remembered when I had to move house and when I placed boxes of coins at the trunk, it just seemed like I&#039;ve loaded too much weight.</p><p><br /></p><p>So far I have been selling off some of the lower grade coins and common duplicates. That was easy. The real challenge comes to this - there&#039;s some coins that are easily in the range of hundreds of dollars. This would have been very easy if there was grade differences. But no, this is what I faced -</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Similar grade but they are softly struck - one has weakly struck image on the left side, the other on the left. Put the two together and you have one perfect coin. Ugh.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) One is in strong XF condition but environmentally damaged, the other in VF condition and lightly cleaned</p><p><br /></p><p>3) Similar condition but different varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>4) Cleaned XF versus a decent VF</p><p><br /></p><p>5) A holed F+ coin versus a worn coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the list goes on.</p><p><br /></p><p>My current aim is to keep the ones that have better eye appeal. What makes it harder to part with some of them is that even if I wanted to buy them later down the road, the sales record for some of them are in between 1 - 5 on a yearly basis, if not less.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess at the end of the day, I can&#039;t just live on coins (unless I become a professional coin dealer). It might be a lot easier to just sell the whole lot off and not worry about it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Have you gone through such experience and what did you do?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
