I normally don’t sell coins… but

I’m funding a large purchase. Can anyone review my pricing and let me know if I’m way off? The majority are attractively toned albeit not crazy neon (some are).

*im not attempting to sell in this post or by pm or anywhere just yet *

    Probably reasonable, but some of those prices are going to be hard to actually achieve. I don't see any bargains on there. The RB Lincolns are going to be hard unless they are toners. A 1963 RB Lincoln is, on its own with no toning premium, a $15 item at retail. The Walkers, depending on toning, are priced at full retail as are the Buffs.

    The appropriateness of the pricing is going to depend on the selling venue. I don't think they'll sell quickly at those prices - unless, again they have exceptional toning. If I want to pay full retail for a 1937-D or 1938-D Buff, I have my choice of hundreds of them at any time of any day.

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

    They are all toners

    If they were my coins and I needed the money I'd send them all to GC and get a check. Or start on Ebay for $0.99. A lot of work to price and sell 50 coins individually. Maybe $15K total?

    I have someone interested in buying all at once. I just was curious if I was way off. I’m not expecting my asking price since haggling is how the game works.

    That is not usually the best way to maximize returns, unless it is a single coherent collection.

    I understand but he’s reasonable. I’ve sold $6k+ to him before

    Sounds like you have a good plan...out with the old, in with the new.
    Let us know how you did on the lot and what new coin you picked up.

    No coins. Paying off a few things and buying another truck. My kids truck is a rust bucket money pit that needs to be replaced sooner than later. My bank account will thank me.

    1934 S WLH in 66 is worth a lot more than $1100.

    A 65 is worth at least $2000, so a 66 would be worth about $4000.

    Just for reference, PCGS retail is $2600 and $5500, respectively.

    Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

    Good catch… it’s a typo. It’s a 64

    And have GC select coins to submit to CAC. You are leaving money off the table by not doing that.

    That could be leaving money on (not off) the table.

    I predict that this won't be the last time that you pay for your kid's things.

    Just remember...the advice you receive on a site is worth every bit of what you paid for it.

    Lol. I think Dave Ramsey would tell you not to buy the truck for your son. Beyond that, I'm not sure.

    Dave would probably say sell the coins and keep the guns. Or maybe that’s just me saying that…

    I don’t care about CDN bid. I’m not a dealer. Dealers won’t sell to me at CDN prices.

    Right, because there’s so many opportunities for a 16 year old to work in a town of 300 people. Should he ride a bike to the next town of 3000 people that’s a 15 minute car ride when it’s -20 outside?

    Dave Ramsey would approve of you selling coins to pay cash for a truck. It’s giving your income to banks he doesn’t like.
