Thank you crab eater and gxseries for your interest and valuable contributions. You have given me some more avenues to consider. The point about trying to sell coins to collectors who have collected the same coins from circulation is certainly valid. I am aiming to make sure whatever I end up putting up for sale is something that I would be happy to buy. I do like to buy what I call 'lucky dips' at auction that consėst of mixed lots or accumulations but of course we are all different. Most of the coins that I have already set aside for sale are uncirculated and the others are at least EF grade or higher.
Selling single coins is just not a feasible option for me. The nearest post office is too far away and the cost of driving there and the time it takes and packing etc just makes that option uneconomical. My intention is to put together 'sets' or 'lots' and have them sold by an auction house. I have contacted a couple of them seeking guidance but they weren't very helpful. However, that is still the only realistic option at the moment. I will be travelling to the 'big smoke' in a few month's time and that is when I want to submit a few 'sets/lots' and see what happens.
Thank you for the link to the
ebay seller selling the high grade sets. That is interesting and inspiring. If I can achieve results matching those prices I would be very content.
Ultimately the aim is to exchange my surplus coins for cash in order to buy other coins to fill the gaps in my collection. I am enjoying the challenge and the journey. Thank you for your interest and support. Happy hunting.
