Thanks everybody.. Will look into Great Collections. Still have several nice DDO coins to put in capsules. I really do appreciate CCF. |

Sorry to hear about your health issues. A friend of mine I've known since high school days, was diagnosed w/ CHF about 5 years ago & he's doing good w/ his medications. Prayers!

So what do you believe your collection is worth?

I have no real idea of worth at this point...going to start researching various sites. We don't have coin shops around here which would be a good start. Might have to find a coin show somewhere not too far away. Thanks

Truly sorry to hear about your condition, and hope the marvels of modern medicine can fix things up. Our family's experience with such things has been rather positive. My father had about what you describe, and after surgery 12 years ago he is still fully active at 88 years old. It's a struggle, no doubt, but I wish you the very best always.
I'm not sure Great Collections would be a good choice for this collection. They only sell slabbed coins, so most of this would all have to go to ANACS, which would take 5 months to get back and then two months to sell and get paid. A fair bit of it is unlikely to realize much more than the slabbing costs, which for 100 coins could run in the $1600 range.
Pretty sure I can't suggest individuals or companies that would be interested in the collection here, but you can send me a PM and I can probably give you three choices of people who may be interested in buying the whole collection.

They only sell slabbed coins, TB, they have an entire section dedicated to lots/un-slabbed/uncertified. But in JFeeds case, attribution becomes the problem. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

I hadn't noticed this thread until now. Sorry to hear about your heart condition. I will echo the hopeful thoughts of others on this thread. Modern medicine has produced many miracles, and my prayers are that you enjoy a strong recovery with the help of your doctors.
Is your objective with the collection to unlock its full monetary value, or to see it safely into the hands of a knowledgeable collector (or collectors)? It seems that the end goal must inform the liquidation strategy. If it were my collection, I would separate out the few coins with strong value, document them thoroughly, and liquidate them raw. The remainder, I would guide into the hands of appreciative collectors, perhaps for a modest payment, but without being overly concerned for extracting profit.

DOCC, ya got me there! I'll have to look that up as everything I've ever done on GC was with slabbed coins as far as selling and buying and looking at auction prices. Must be another section on there.

Thanks.. All suggestions and advice are welcome. It appears that Great Collections is not really interested in raw coins according to the representative that I exchanged emails with. Slabbing would be too costly for all the cents, but slabbing a few of the 'best' one might act as a keystone to the entire collection. Again, I really appreciate your comments. Jim

GC does not sell raw coins but could handle the submission of your better cents for you seamlessly.
