What would you sell this mini-hoard?

Or is it a hoard?

Seriously, if you had more than 50 pieces of these in a number of different grades ranging from blown away bent corroded slugs to a gem in MS-65, What would you do in order to sell them all?

How some of these things get started we'll never know image

I hope this thread is ok. If not, slap me down, take me out to the countryside, etc.

    At least you 'take responsibility'. image


    How do these things started?

    Sounds like a fun giveaway. The first response gets the nicest one, the second gets the next best...so forth and so on. image

    i would probably sell the worst as a batch on ebay if they are worth selling. if not
    i would give them away as i was able to.

    the next in the group, which i assume are nicer and worthy enough to sell, would
    go as individual lots on ebay over time. throw them on, one or two at a time over
    a few month period.

    the best of the best would goto heritage or some type of auction house and let
    it ride.

    i have no idea what the value of these are but it seems like dolling them out over
    time would get the best result. i imagine i would try to sell the best of the best first
    so as not to flood the market with pretty good ones that might suck up early
    buyers who will be satisfied with slightly lower grade examples.

    That particular satirical Hard Times token would be quite the appropriate message for a lot of failed bank CEO's, as well as the CEO's of corporations that are "too big to fail" bailout recipients.

    Have no idea what they are worth. Kinda of cool, but not my cup of tea. I would give them away with orders over a certain $$$ amount.

    Or just send some to your better customers for their past partonage. Sell the others on ebay, and the bst.
    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

    Giving away the one's in higher grades would be very generous of you image That one would fetch you something like $150+ on ebay. They are pretty common but not as much in the higher grades. Check ebays completed listings and you will get a good idea as to what they sell for in most all grades.

    Selling them all is easy, selling them all at a good price is hard. Sell the better grade ones on ebay at a rate of one per week or less; then sell the dreck in a single lot.
