I am a lucky guy..a dear friend is selling her late dad's coin collection to me...it's a lifelong collection.....literally, thousands of cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, & halves(mostly lincoln's...but, from the list I have in hand, Indian's, and buffalo & Jefferson 5c--barber, mercury, and roosevelt 10c-..Liberty and Washington 25c---Barber, Liberty, and Franklin 50c, mixed dates from 1890-1960's in the mix)...as with most large orders, a lot of common dates...key to this is key dates, the grades,(full steps, full bands, full bellines, and, possible varieties and errors) and, the silver....what I need is wholesale prices for rolls of both circulated and BU coins(prefer online web sites to study, but, more than happy to order value sheets, and books-guides)..not sure where to turn..need to make a fair, yet decent offer...advice needed...I will be in contact with PCGS and NGC about a possible special hoard label, if things are worthy...more will be revealed when, if this pans out, coins in hand, and sale done..I don't want to jinx anything...
Thanks

There is no better place to look than ebay. I was in this same boat a few months back, only with a hoard of Morgans and circulated Merc dimes. I came to find that most price guides are worthless except to benchmark one coin against another--a 1921 Peace dollar might be listed at $120 in VF on one site, but if it will only sell on ebay for $50, it's only worth $50. Are there any good key dates in the collection? If you're looking for maximum return, I'd sell them on ebay by the roll, starting at 99 cents to ensure a bidding frenzy--bidders seem to get caught up in the chase in the final seconds and end up bidding FAR more than the coin/roll is worth. Unless we're looking at hundreds of rolls of BU key date coins, I don't think it would be worth sending more than a few coins to the grading companies. It's not worth dealing with their fees unless you have something really special. What are some of the better coins/rolls in the hoard? We love pictures :) |
