I have some slabbed problem coins that I'd like to sell. I haven't sold any coins before so I'd like some advice. What venues would be the best for selling these kinds of coins? I am not in any hurry to sell and I wouldn't mind selling them slower for a higher price. Also, some of the coins in "Cleaned" holders are sort of borderline cases and I'm wondering if it would be better to crack these out and sell them as raw. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

These are all relatively low value coins, nothing above $200 or so.

I should add that all these coins fall within the "US Classic Coins" category, which is why I posted this here. Feel free to move it though if this is the wrong forum.

Sounds like ebay should be under consideration.

I was thinking about that but I've heard that ebay charges outrageous fees. Also have to worry about scams and the like.

posting the pictures of your coins will get you already a bit closer to the window of 250

Fees are going to be high anywhere. The only places you will avoid fees all together or in person sales and I would NEVER sell a coin on craigslist. You can try a dealer but low value details coins they probably won't even want.

Anything online you're either going to pay a fee to the venue such as Great Collections or you're going to at least have to pay PayPal. ebay is almost certainly your best bet for what you described but you can compare it with Great Collections and see. You can try Instagram too and see if it'll sell.

You should check into greatcollections.com I've sold many coins through them both low and high priced with good results.

doesn't hurt to look, but their fees are higher than ebay's at that price point and details coins generally don't do well there for US coins

As long as your not in a hurry, just do a lot of posting here for a while. Your not to far from the 250 mark now.
