In order to be taken seriously as a seller, you need to become an active, contributing member of the boards. I would suggest you go to the U.S. Coin Forum, introduce yourself and become acquainted with the members. Whenever somebody just shows up and starts selling without any background, the members are very hesitant to buy from them. This hesitancy has to do with previous "newbies" showing up and scamming, or trying to scam, members out of their money. If you are not willing to introduce yourself and become involved, I would suggest you move on to another forum.

In addition, just remember that it'll probably be easier to start small... will be much easier for a newbie to sell a lower value coin than to start out with high dollar coins. If you have an eBay account with selling feedback, be sure to share that too as that may help get buyers to trust you when first starting out. Also remember to put all of your stuff in a single thread... one selling thread per person and only one bump per day. Good luck!
