Like the Baltimore Orioles with Chris Davis’ contract, post a coin your stuck with that no one else is going to take off your hands for anywhere near what you paid for it. Mine is a small lot of Canadian commems, I can probably get back I think 25%.

At first I thought you meant "milestones."
I was wrong.
Color me for Great Collections.
@topstuf "Millstones" is obvious and sticks out like a sore thumb.
Maybe the OP just hates to send things back to the vendor.
It is time to depart for Thanksgiving dinner now (10:30 AM CST)!
That would probably describe about 85% of my entire collection. I'd post pics but (1) I don't know how, and (2) no one would want to see them!
Feel free to PM me if anyone needs financial advice.

Hard to return stuff years after purchase
I got this at a country auction.
My collection is rather small in number as they take up a lot of storage space.
Lol, our discussions have the same title coincidentally 😂😂😂😂
You could encourage others to buy them from you by popularizing a Millstone Registry Set, wherein people would be rewarded by overpaying for coins they'll be stuck with. A bit of a paradox, of course, since for you the coin would no longer be a millstone.

I am sure I have a few 'millstones'...especially from my early years of collecting...though none come readily to mind. Most likely some generic Morgan dollars since they were an early interest. Oh well, I still have them, so maybe values have caught up with the price I paid ... Though I will never really find out...Cheers, RickO
@mannie gray My Dad had several of those that came from farms that he cultivated or managed. He paid nothing for them, but had to move them about ten miles, which was not easy. They are still on my brother's farm, neglected.
