Best Place Or Form To Sell 50 Graded Coins

I've been thinking of selling a set of my coins, I still need to send to PCGS some of the raw ones that I have to grade, to complete the set of fifty coins.

Most of the coins are slabbed on PCGS and only three are NGC.

It is a mix of coin types and grades,

I am not in a rush, but would like to hear any comments, maybe some of the coins can go to the BST but on previous tryouts recently with other coins, no luck, I have sold in the BST in the past.

Thank you.

    Take a table at a show. Long Beach or Baltimore, depending on where you live. Or perhaps the USMEX show?

    If the coins are better (scarce, or unique in some way) you could try Stacks Bowers. But a small consignment won’t get you a great sellers rate.

    Got it.

    At least 10 of the coins can be scarce and 4 unique.

    Really any pillars from any mint would be of interest to us

    So, for a set of this number, can be possible HA, SB & GC?

    In a worst case scenario, do you get at least something more of what you paid for your coins or that cannot even happen?

    Okay, I will see where it ends, still I need at least to send 25 coins to be graded. I do not have a lot of coins, only 127 and with the cut of 50 if it happens, fast or takes a long time, will try also to cut the number of less than 77 maybe to 25, and do my best to keep just the best ones and if I add any other one, will try for a better one and take more time for that.

    Thanks!

    I am going to give it a try on the BST for a set of 9 coins all for a fixed price, just for five days.

    This next November 3rd, I am going to a show, a one I go across the border and will take some of the coins for sale there. And see how it ends.

    Posted that, one can see that can get a decent number of views:

    But no buy, there can be many factors for sure.

    That is one of the reasons I asked here.

    I have seen others that go to GC and put a lot of coins there, on a recent saw one of about 300 US coins.

    I just want to cut down the number of my coins, some coins do not fit anymore on my set, simply want to let those go and use that money to buy other coins.

    Will remove the post on the BST. Edit: The post is gone - My last tryout there on the BST.

    I’ve never had much luck on the BST world section, US I have.

    Yes, I just did that as my last try and test there.
