I think Carl has some good advice. Putting "WOW!!" on a cheap 2x2 is not very appealing. If it were me, I would get rid of those crappy 2x2 holders altogether.
Trying to help.

JimBucks is talking about the 2v2"s. They are ridiculous looking with all that writing and those insane prices.

The OP may be a newbie, so let's help him/her out. Be EXTREMELY careful removing coins from a 2x2. Many coins have been ruined by staple scratches.

Ohhhhh, I see. I didn't do that. These are coins from an inherited collection. I'm selling just as they were when passed down. Should I take them out? I didn't want to mishandle them in any way. Thanks for clarification. |

Be careful. Remove the staples carefully. Get them completely removed before attempting to remove the coins.

Thanks for the advice everyone! One more question: what time is best to end listings? Does that matter? I would like to sell on here? How can I do that?

I have better luck when I schedule ebay 7-day auctions to end on Sunday evenings, 6 to 8 pm Pacific Time. |

.....and 4.12 shipping is extremely high. That in itself will limit bidding as buyers will factor that in or just avoid bidding altogether. You'll notice that you're getting dinged on your shipping (less than 5 stars).

I have also found 3 Mercury dimes in circulation. I don't know how much the OPs coins are worth. On the USA coin book site, they list for $6-$8 a piece for MS-60 grade. I get $3-$4 a piece for most Mercury dimes in some circulated grade which is over melt. |

from looking at the pics... here is what I didn't like.. the 2x2's are awful... putting "WOW" and over inflated prices on the flips, just scream "ripoff" it is obvious that the flips were marked up just to try to sell them. flips should have coin info only.. it comes across as a typical ebay ripoff sale. You should avoid that appearance. |

I left the 2x2's on there because when I initially came to this site for suggestions on helping my aunt sell, it seemed the most important advice was to be careful with them and NOT to clean, & sell slowly. So I figured removing them out of the protective covering wouldn't be the best. By the way, I didn't write all the stuff on there.

The OP asked for advice, and seems to ignore it. Oh well. Or, oh WOW!
