JudeM New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 11/07/2022 3:30 pm Many thanks for the welcome, and the grading thoughts. It's a steep learning curve. The collection came from someone who obviously knew her coins. Among so many other cool sets, she's got a full set of half pennies including this one... so if I can ask the follow up question: What would you guys do to sell it? Take it to a dealer, auction house, get it valued and sell it yourself...? Sell as a set or individual coins? It obviously comes down to a compromise between time/hassle and money - I don't need to get the absolute top dollar out of every part of the collection - it's more important that her beloved coins go to people who'll love them. And that I don't get sucked into the hobby myself! They're so fascinating and the temptation is real, but I do not have the space or time... Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5238 Posts	Posted 11/07/2022 6:46 pm One obvious first step is to take them to a few dealers and ask what they would offer. However, don't accept any offer yet. This is the minimum price you can get for them as you consider other options. Report this Post to the Staff
