<p>[QUOTE="No_Ragrets, post: 26049072, member: 151874"]Separate the ones that are actually valuable (like that $300 range you mentioned) and do not lump them in with coins valued at a few cents. Those might be worth selling individually, or as a lump sum on whichever platform you prefer. The common date coins, ranging in values under a few bucks, lump them all in together and see what your LCS will offer. Then bring out the mid-range value coins (at that LCS) and see how he'd increase the offer. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my personal thought process so take that into account. My LCS offers greysheet ask at a minimum (at least that's what he tells me after looking through his magazine for certain obscure coins sometimes) but he also takes into account the demand for those coins. Understandably so, as he's putting out his money to hold onto them until he can offload them. </p><p><br /></p><p>He does periodically hold ebay auctions (I can divulge his shop if anyone is interested) on items he wants to offload, and just starts a bunch of $0.99 auctions with no reserve and let it fly.
