[QUOTE="sakata, post: 2683817, member: 23778"]Let's forget, for the moment, collectible coins, numismatic items, slabbed coins, etc. Let's just think about what sells. I have a lot of coins which I bought basically for their silver content. I paid less than melt as it was at the time. I am above water and below water in about equal amounts because I have been dollar cost averaging as the price of silver has varied. At some point in the future I am probably going to want to liquidate these and online auctions seem like the best way to do it. Taking EBay as a good indicator of what happens in the online auction world what, in your experience, is the type of coin which sells best? That is, taking into account underlying value, what do you think will produce the best profit over a ten year period. I have hundreds of crown sized silver pieces, pieces from the more popular countries, and lots of silver set from the 70s which I bought way below spot price. I will probably slowly put these up for auction over then next ten years as the price of silver increases (yes, I believe it will so let's not make that a discussion point of this thread). I don't need to add more but I have spare money so why not do so. What would you recommend looking to acquire at decent prices? Thanks for any input.[/QUOTE]
