If you provide a link to your ebay site we all might be able to determine if your
collectibles are worth enough to help you meet your goal.
A few gold pieces would net you more that a lot of silver pieces.

Also, if you agree, post the quantities of each that you are willing to sell. Advice
will then be easier for the members to give.

You need to described three things:
1) What $$$ you need to raise, precisely.
2) How much and what you have for sale
3) Which coins that you have are the most important for you to hold back.

Selling gold will get you maximum money in minimum time. I would sell gold first if I really needed to sell.

I agree, sell the gold first and then your least favorite coins, whatever they may be.

Personally, hold PMs for as long as you can. When the time comes, I'd let gold go first if the market still looks like it has a good upside potential for silver (which I am a fan of).

Personally if it comes to paying a bill or hold coins its a no brainer to sell and pay the bill. I would sell the gold first and see where you stand after the sales since those not only will bring the most money but also have the most to lose if the market switches.

After that I would sell the most easily replaceable coins you have starting with the least favorite.

I think the gold would get you there quick an low shipping cost as well, BUT gold will be worth the most IMO down the road and beyond, so why not move the foreign currency, and keep the gold 90% an old US coins, there is your money in time....

IF, you can get the money you need for the foreign items....

And you can of course sell to a member or two here, save fees and get it all shipped in one lump sum or two....

Thank you for all the great input so far.

Initially, I need to raise about 2K by the end of the month and by the end of the year, I need to raise from 10K to 20K because of some major bills come due.

The hardest part right now is to decide on which to let go.... they seemed to grow onto me over times.... my self-argument is that they have value above and beyond my possible asking price.... and what if I can't get them back at latter for the same or better price..... I've been delaying and delaying but now the inevitable come.....

Thank you those have shown interests.... I'll keep in mind and once I've sort out what to sell, I'll let those people know.

Depends on how attached to your collectible coins you are. I would sell them first if you aren't terribly attached. The gold and silver have an intrinsic value that over time have proven to always increase in value. Since some of the stuff you would take a loss on, I'd just hold those, and if you need to do things quick sell the gold since it's a no net loss situation.

I would sell the $5 liberties because you wouldn't be taking much of a loss if any on them.

I personally believe that silver has more upside potential that gold, % wise but that is just me.

Good luck with your situation.

Thank you everyone for your inputs. I've been listing some of my coins on ebay. Currently, there are 3 Lincoln Wheat cent early date in PCGS holders, high grade, that will end w/in 4hrs. Two of the coins are still below market value. They are great looking coins.

Here's the link, just in case you want to check them out: http://www.ebay.com/sch/collectible...trksid=p3686

SA2H: Think,--- then hasten slowly. You need time to do this. Easier to decide what you are going to part with, and should get a better price for what you let go.

Thanks sel,

I'm working on sorting out the stuffs and slowly listing them. I main issue right now is the ability to take good picture of the coins.... I guess I have to sit down, go to the photography section and do some learning.
