My name is Jessa and I have just recently started getting into coins. My husband had a collection he got out for me (to try and make money to build a new house) and so for the last month Ive crammed TONS of info into my head about coins. I must say that I have been surprised to see how the coins pretty much make money(haha). Why didnt I get into this sooner? Anyhow, the collection has now doubled, and there are several kinds of coins; US and World. I am close to the point of selling some, and already know what I plan to keep for at least 20 more years. I have no idea where is best to sell what though. Any thoughts would be awesome!!

Jessa Typically ebay will have the best traffic - but fees are high and competition is fierce.

So I'm glad you are doing lots of learning and studying. The fine folks here can also help with general grading - opinions - advice.

Good Luck!

Jessa , To CCF. Try not to think of making a killing on coins. most of us here would be lucky to build a dog house on the proceeds of our collection let alone a home.
coin collecting is a hobby for the fun and enjoyment one gets from it. Go ahead and ask questions the members on this forum will always steer you in the right direction.

Good luck! Save your change. Look for money on the sidewalk, in the cushions of chairs, or even use a metal detector.

Look at flea markets or yard sales. I was at a gun sale with a friend, killing time while he looks at guns, and a vendor had a dollar 'junk jar'. I pulled out about a dozen IHC, Indian Head cents, and Buffalo nickels. The gentleman shows me some 2X2s, two inch by two inch coin holders, in his case and says 'any of these for a dollar, too.' I pick out another eleven coins I wanted. I have a twenty in hand, give it to him, and start deciding which coins to put back. He motioned for me to move along, 23 coins for $20. We both got what we wanted.

When you sell, ebay will take a percentage and so will shipping and payment. If you sell a number of valuable coins, You'll find your sales throttled to about $1500 a month. Always take good pictures of both sides of the coin and insure your shipments. If you sell items as a vendor, even at a yard sale, have your junk money jar available. Mom's looking at something, and you give her kid an old cent to keep him busy. 'I gave him one nobody wanted'

Get an online presence, here, ecrate, Etsy,ebid, help me here guys!

Anyways, Many of the coins you obtain can just be tossed into your banks coin sorter, you've checked that they have one, right? Now, get some rolls of coins back that you can go through looking for the ones with greater intrinsic value.

Train your relatives, friends, clerks, tellers, and waitresses, to hold any 'unusual' or 'different' money for you.

Always remember what a twisted path, and utilization, a dollar bill could have traveled.

Some day you might show us an old slug that somebody is willing to give you a $1000 to obtain.

Good luck, fair weather, and a following breeze.

Oh, welcome
