Selling Coins On This Forum. Help?

thanks for the replies. I have never sold any of my coins before, only bought them. But now finding my self a little overrun with binders and boxes and containers and frames of coins all over the place. Some things just have to go whether I like it or not. Maybe I will try the first post or 2 to be smaller priced items just to see how it goes. I guess I have the worry that I will sell something rare and valuable and not even know it.

thanks again

You can go here http://www.usps.com/tools/calculate...ulatepostage and get an estimate of costs just estimate the weight and destination Use a destination that encompasses as much area of the country as possible , any place closer will be slightly less but you will be covered for the furthest reaches .

I usually do not include alaska or Hawaii if you get a buyer from those locals then re estimate based on that person .

The forum appreciates pictures and if you want to recover then put the coins in the coins forsale forum and set a price let the people decide from good pictures and the cost .

If you have more questions please ask we want the buying selling on the forum to be enjoyable and as problem free as possible .

Hi Malissa,

If you click "all forums" that is at the top, under "What is in your pocket? You will see down near the very bottom the "Support and Testing" section and within that is the "testing forum". It is for just such things as you are asking for.

You can go there and click on new topic and make a post just like you want to try for selling with pictures, etc. To avoid confusion of newbies, you might want to make the price $xx.xx, but make every thing else like what you would. When the preview looks OK, then post it and then go back in 10 minutes or so and re-read the posting. I often find I miss mistakes if I read after posting, only to come back later and find it is a 1925 I am selling ( photo) when I call it a 1926 in the print. If it is what you want, click on the edit icon and change the price to the real one, Use the mouse to copy the whole message, go to the sell forum and click on the "new topic" and paste the message there, and go to the "title" section and add your title like " 10 morgans for melt" or whatever, preview, and then post. Hope this helps ease the anxiety.All have it one the first sell, the first ebay sell, and the first PCGS submission

Is it legal to ship coins and bills to australia? I wouldnt mind shipping to anywhere if it's legal.

You don't ship "coins", you ship "numismatic collectibles", or "hobby supplies", or something else vague. My favorite was "numismatic teaching aides".

my favorite is

"Numismatic Curiosities"

The problem with declaring them as "coins" is it increases the likelihood of them "disappearing" in the mail. Apparently there are a few postal personnel who are not completely honest.
