Home Buy, Sell, & Trade - U.S. Coins

Genuine holders...what do you do with them?

what usually happens with me is,membership time rolls around and I really do not have any high grade coins lying around to submit.I end up sending less desirable candidates.most recent example,sent in 1846 and 1849 one cent,1877 quarter and a 1909 $5 gold piece.the quarter came back vf 20 ,the gold au58,the 1846 vf details with enviro dmg and the 1849 vf details with graffiti.I am now the proud owner of about a dozen gennys.Curious as to what others do with their gennys....maybe start a cripple box of 20? just noticed I posted this on the wrong forum,sorry

    I have a box that I've marked "issues".



    Some I agree with, once they came back, I could see what the issues were. Otheres I think might have been a bad day and may go back sometime

    all coins deserve second chances, the question is if its cleaned once, scratched on the second time, then grades out on the 3rd.... which is it ?

    Sell them raw on eBay and forget about them forever.

    can never forget them because as many people here have said, its deceiving to sell problem coins on ebay so they are likely gonna be returned as SNAD ... simply because people aren't intelligent enough to read the listing or look at the pictures apparently

    Since the topic is RE-submitting, I submit that the initial submissions may have been submitted to VARYING opinions. And since even they can't be sure (which I submit is the case), cracking the basserds out and submitting them to the fog of forgetfulness is the least troublesome and mental-healthiest and least deceitful way to make them a part of your (hopefully sparse) past disappointments.



    I have reached the age where, if it does not PLEASE ME GREATLY to gaze upon it, it goes out of my life and I am happier.



    Even if it's at a loss because NO loss is greater than your loss of confidence.



    This I submit in good conscience. image
