Poll...You HAVE TO sell some coins....which goes first?

topstuf

What would you sell first?

topstuf

I'm picking at my own poll. It's flawed as it can't show the ORDER in which you would sell.

At the shop, MOST people sold cheap stuff first. Even to the 90% silver bulk coins.
They would start with dimes and see how the amount progressed with dollars the VERY LAST to go.

Feel free to post the sequence if you wish.

Keep the best, sell the rest

Also you left out US mint products. I have lots of US proof sets, buffalo dollars I bought from the US Mint etc etc. Those things are easy to sell and usually at a PROFIT.

First bullion, then widgets.

Shamika

Sell the stuff that's easiest to replace.

If you have a coin that is tough to find OR is a PQ example OR has spectacular eye appeal, keep it. Anything else should be up for grabs whether or not it's expensive, cheap, key date, etc.

1909-S VDB is a key date that is rare and expensive, but every major auction has a ton of them from circulated to high mint state grades. It's very easy to replace if you have the money.

Bullion goes first becuase it is the easiest to replace

For me, since I've sold 90% of what I had 3 years ago it went in this order:

1. Cheap stuff
2. Bullion
3. Stuff I paid too much for
4. Stuff I liked but could live without
5. Stuff I really liked but no longer fits my goals

Other -- the stuff that doesn't really fit into my collecting plans moving forward. It can be cheap, it can be more expensive, it can be small or large.

Darkmane

it would go "bullion" then "cheap stuff" but i dont have any bullion.... so cheap stuff (minus stuff like my circulated wheat set *incomplete* i put together from a 5c bag which has next to no REAL value)

Non copper.

Neptune

everything but the silver.

relayer

I sell the stuff I paid too much for first, because it makes my collection look like I'm always getting shrewed deals

boiler78

bullion followed by widgets, then coins or currency that no longer "fit" my collecting goals.

mirabela

I'd echo nwcs' list --

1. Cheap stuff
2. Bullion
3. Stuff I paid too much for
4. Stuff I liked but could live without
5. Stuff I really liked but no longer fits my goals

I'd add to that, anything that can be replaced w/o need of rent garments, wailing & gnashing of teeth.
It's just about all gone -- the only junk left is that stuff which would realize so little in sale that I'm better off keeping it until my kids are interested.

Funny you should ask. This is where I am right now. Selling off the "cheap" stuff, followed by the stuff I paid too much for, and then certified coins as a last resort, which may not be far away.

Steve27

Bullion (in which I included "junk" silver)

itsnotjustme

First things to go for me were common non-slabbed material (bulk silver, raw non-MS dollars, bullion). Next was slabbed material that no longer fit my collecting interest/registry sets. I even dumped a registry set because I felt completing the set was my only reason to own many modern proofs that I had little interest in.

Youngest coins first.
