<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 863863, member: 5036&quot;]Sometimes you have a coin you no longer love, or want, or your focus changes.&nbsp; When that does happen, what do you do with those orphaned coins.&nbsp; I just recently dug through my collection and weeded out a lot of the coins I just no longer am fully enamored of, one of these was an Anacs graded (in the old small holder) AG-3 1916-D Mercury, which in all honesty was much closer to a FR-2 that an AG-3.&nbsp; It was ugly, but for what I paid for it at the time it was an okay deal.&nbsp; But, I find my tastes have shifted to better condition coins (I wish my budget would make the same shift) so out the door it had to go.&nbsp; Now I know that on ebay or another auction site it might bring X amount of dollars, but there are no guarantees.&nbsp; Now the dealer I frequent offered X amount of dollars to purchase the coin but XX to use it as trading stock.&nbsp; I took the XX and felt good about it as it was a significant premium over what I paid for the coin just 8 years ago.&nbsp; But what about the rest of you, how do you feel about using coins as trading stock, have you ever done it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
