[QUOTE="SilverMike, post: 26085492, member: 78609"]I thought this might be a fun discussion, especially if some folks who deal will chime in. To stay within forum rules, this thread is not intended to be an offer to buy or sell anything - this is meant to be a hypothetical discussion. Of course we should all collect what we want and like, but later on [B][I]what is hard to get rid of (assuming a reasonable offer is made)? Stuff that dealers either just really don't like to buy, or maybe stuff that has such a niche market it takes forever to move?[/I][/B] I'll start. As I've brought things in and out of my collection, here are a few categories of coins I have found difficult to sell: -Problem / details coins in slabs -Clad proof sets -Modern slabbed common dates, eg. MS67 dimes from the sixties. I had a handful of these in NGC slabs and tried to sell them at a show and couldn't find anyone to buy them. I remember one dealer just looked at them, handed them back to me, and said, "no one wants these." He was right :) If you have a story to share about trying to sell (or your experiences as a dealer), please share. Mike[/QUOTE]
