[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2664044, member: 112"]Since he has indicated his desire to sell or possibly sell his collection, no he cannot do that in the regular sections of the forum - as per forum rules. He could however post pictures and or a list in the Advertising section, but that's the only place he could do it. Now then, John, your best option, by far, to sell a collection such as you describe is to simply take it to a local coin shop and sell it outright. Or if you don't have a local coin shop then find a dealer on-line, contact him and ask if he would be interested in a collection like yours. Now I'll tell you in advance, most will say no they are not interested in a collection like that. This is because coins in a collection like you are describing are far too common and most dealers don't even sell the stuff. But it is still your best option to go that way. Why ? Because it is a ton of work, and requires a lot of time, to even try sell stuff like that on ebay ! And by the time you are done paying fees and selling at reduced prices you'll end up making roughly the same amount of money as if you sold the collection outright to a dealer. This same scenario plays out for other collectors just like you, just about every day, over and over and over again. I'm not telling you this to discourage you, I'm telling you this to get you realize the reality of the situation.[/QUOTE]
