[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1954832, member: 13307"]I might also add that summertime is not the best time to sell coins. (Except foreign, that seems to be moving quickly right now...) I might wait until the weather gets a bit colder (and people are forced to stay inside more) to sell. I'd say this: take the time it takes to do it right. Take good photos (especially for quality coins), make sure you know what you're selling, and study how others are selling their coins and being successful at it. There are a few people on here who will list your coins on eBay (I'm not the only one) and will also keep an eye out for varieties and high-grade coins, if you find you don't have the time to do it right. As far as what coins you should keep... People always say keep what you like. Keep what you enjoy looking at. Don't particularly stress about whether you think something will increase in value or not. I have a tiny hoard of coins I hope will go up in value, but if they don't, no big deal. I almost always try to keep the best quality coins I can afford to keep...because they are few and far between (and getting harder to find.) Also, make sure you advertise the coins you are selling here! Hope that helps...[/QUOTE]
