Hi
I'm looking to sell 100s of pre 65 silver quarters. I'll probably try some dealers. Does anyone possibly have any advice how to best go about this? What would be a good way to present them? (they are loose at the moment).
Thanks
Barry

 You could try making albums out of them if you have enough different dates or rolls of both mixed date and same date to sell on ebay. My advice would just be look at what things get on ebay for the various ways you could present them and keep that number in mind when you get the dealer offers. Make sure to subtrack what youd lose from fees (about 13%) and if its close sell to the dealer if its not do it yourself |

You might want to go through them to look for key dates before you sell.32d, 32s and 36d carry a nice premium even in lower circulated grade.

You better know what you're doing before you go to a dealer.

I've had great luck selling rolls of silver on both craigist and ebay. Selling on Craigslist I've gotten a premium over melt for solid rolls and even more selling on ebay... In my opinion, avoid selling silver to dealers. |

Look up key dates, semi-key dates and varieties for your (I assume) Washington quarters. They will command a higher price. Other than that I would try craigslist (with proper safety of course). |

As others have said. Take out the key dates. Count up the rest. Craigslist should get you at least melt but you will have to meet the potential buyers hopefully at a public place or police station. If you are anti social or anthropophobic ebay will most likely get you melt less 13% in fees. Edited by jack jeckel

I would go with ebay ..it looks like silver is going for more than melt value and I bet dealers would go way below melt value ..most likely with ebay fees and shipping you should come out ahead..should check out some silver quarter ebay sales to see if & what you might get |

Now is the time to consider 'value adding' to this sort of stash.
Sets of date runs would be a good way of grouping them for sale.

Get them graded from a reputable company. Once your coins are graded, look up on the web for the price of silver quarters with that grade. This way you can go about selling your coins more objectively. The buyer would know what condition the coins are in and what exactly he or she is paying for. Good luck buddy :)

 If you "have 100's of them" then it's almost a lock that most of them have little more than melt value. You'd have to live into the next century to recoup the money you'd waste on most of them having them graded by a TPG. |
