I'm a coin addict named, Jim...

1. I admit I am powerless over varieties and errors and that searching for them makes my life unmanageable.

2. I have come to believe that a coin better than the one I have is out there and can restore me to sanity.

3. I am making the decision today to turn my will and my life over to the care of my microscope as I look through it.

4. I made a searching and fearless inventory of my coins (see number 2).

5. I'm writing this

6. I became entirely willing to have other collectors improve my collection

7. I humbly asked them to sell me coins short.

8. I made a list of all coins I do not have and became willing to not purchase them all today

9. I made direct purchases of coins except when to do so would injure my ability to pay my bills (yeah right).

10. I continued to take coin inventory and...(see #2).

11. I sought through observation and research to improve my collection, seeking only grades above Fine and the power to purchase them.

12. Having acquired a coin I want, I tried to get more.

[OO!]

If it's allowable and do-able to ask for actual selling assistance from members on this forum, do so. Because you WILL TAKE A BATH from a dealer at about Two Cents per coin...maybe three....baths either way, in my opinion.

It's simple to take a bath and be shed of the coins. If you want to put some time and effort into it, you'll get double what a dealer would give you. On ebay, I get about &1.50 - $2.00/roll for modern Wheat cents. There are modern (1934 - 1958) and older Wheat cents (1909 - 1933). Modern Wheats, after my ebay expenses, reap me less than the older wheats, for which I've got up to four dollars a roll.

Another suggestion is to separate the rolls Older/Modern. Several times now, I've put 10 rolls of older Wheats on ebay and average 33 dollars for each lot, minus ebay expenses.

Have you seen the price for a pure copper ingot on ebay?!
I wouldn't mind knowing where to buy some of those for a bit over spot.
Perhaps I will make that a new topic.

j_h_s,
I like your 12 step program. I think it's something that could be useful for me.
