MLFLY Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 02/13/2008 11:31 pm I have a lot more IHC's than I'd care to admit - most inherited. Condition is G to VG. The thought of selling them one at a time is depressing (shipping, rating, packaging). I don't really want to do them in one lot but was thinking to group them by decades or similar with 10 or 20 coins per lot. Does anyone have suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff

Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 02/13/2008 11:34 pm hmm you coule sell them in 10-20 coin lots. I think that would be the best way to go for these kind of grade coins. I would separate key date ones and sell those individually. other than that, small lotswill do you good.

1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 02/13/2008 11:59 pm I agree with Sleaklight. Your 1877, 1908-S and 1909-S will stand alone. The rest can go in 5 coin lots. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/14/2008 07:01 am I have several IHC lots for sale on ebay. two 9-coin lots, a 12-coin, and 16-coin lot. Also a one-roll lot. All of them span the entirety of the IHC era, in different conditions. I also have an 1879 "1 in neck" stand alone. In one of my lots, Ive included the 1908-S as an attraction to the entire lot. I'm no expert. I've put a reserve price on each lot...some have bids, some dont. The IHC lots with VF/XF coins have higher reserves because I refuse to give them away.

mahgobbi Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 02/14/2008 08:39 am Jim - You have a pretty bad typo in your "1 in neck" title ("Inidan"). It probably won't show up in most people's searches unless you fix it. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/15/2008 11:07 am Many things should be considered. For one thing how fast do you want to get rid of them? How much trouble do you expect getting rid of them? How much money do you expect for them? Lots of questions such as those. To just get rid of them you may want to offer them to forum members here. You may want to just go to a coin shop and see what they offer for all of them. Don't forget if you use ebay it will take time and you may never get rid of all of them and lots of time and possibly probems. You could look up on Google coin shows and your state. If you find some you could go to one and see what the dealers would offer you for the entire collection or you could rent a table and attempt to sell them there. Or you could have a YN type giveaway on this or other coin forums where you just give some to YN's. If you do that you should stipulate an age group such as from 5 to 15 or something like that. That is how I got rid of masses of excessive duplicates a few years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
MLFLY Valued Member United States 130 Posts	Posted 02/17/2008 09:59 am Thank you all for some good ideas. Carl - I didn't even think of the YN idea. I can do that through our club. Report this Post to the Staff
