Poll: what would you sell???

thezookrew · October 23, 2006 2:32AM

I have multiple sets and individual coins (that I don't have matches for) of the Wisconsin Extra Leaf quarters. They are PCGS graded and grade from MS63 through MS65. I need to raise some cash and am looking to sell some. What would you sell?

Before I even voted I knew this one would be getting the most votes:

<< Sell everything in preparation for the bottom falling out of the Wisconsin extra leaf market >>

Funny thing is that the bottom has been falling out since they were first discovered, and yet values continue to rise.

You have a lot of choices there! Unfortunately my choice wasn't listed. I would be tempted to keep one coin. If I found some from rolls I would keep the nicest one I found. If they are all coins I purchased already in PCGS holders I might keep the nicest or most interesting one. But I would sell all the rest. OK, I might be talked into keeping a set if I really had tons of them...

Was too complicated for me to wrap my sluggish post-lunch mind around, so I just said sell them all.

The implication of the poll is that you should be buying any of these that aren't nailed down.

I voted to sell the 64/65 stuff. I'm thinking this is pedestrian enough that it can be relplaced
after a likely decline in a couple years. The higher grades are less replaceable and the lower
grades won't bring as much. If you sell it would probably be wise to replace it as soon as the
price goes down with similar or better material. I'd also sell anything that's unattractive after
a decline and replace it with more attractive coins at the same time.

You know how weak prices are for the 1964 and later modern crap...

Russ, I agree with you. My question is: WHY do you think this is?

I have a 2005 mint set with a ddr #49 I wish to trade?

This is just one of the latest fads. Might warrant a premium forever, but not a lot more than what is already priced into them. Reminds me of others like the 95 DDO cent. Sell them while the mania commands an unresolved premium. There will always be plenty of opportunities later on to participate in these sorts of issues again should you want to do so.

sell everything but keep the highest graded most eye appealling set

michael · October 23, 2006 3:04PM

or better yet keep only one set the set you like the best for you and sell the rest if you need$$

I'd sell whatever I had to in order to meet my needs, starting with the lowest priced stuff first. If my needs were met before I got to the high dollar stuff, well and good ! I would not sell ANY sets. I'd say to let each coin sell on it's own merit and sell them individually, only.
Keep the best of each for yourself !

I say Sell low grade sets and individuals. I was surprised everybody said this. Must be the collector in us; sell the junk & keep the good stuff.
(except for those that said the sky was falling or get another source of income)

Normally this is exactly what I'd do; dump the junk. In this case though there is huge and
still growing interest in very low mintage coins with a good distribution. Nearly half of these
are likely held by a couple dozen individuals and some of these will be sold into strenght.
I'm guessing that the spread in price for grades will remain tight until most of these are sold.
By selling midgrades now you can hedge your bets, take a profit, and retain the better coins.
If I'm right the price spread should remain tight after prices fall so you can trade out of junk
into high grades. After the correction is over you should come out of it with some cash and
twice as much of the better coins. If I'm wrong and there's no correction then you've only
lost the additional profits you should have made and you'll still have the highest possible
number of coins for the recovered profits.

I'd sell 'em all, I don't give a hoot about Wisconsin quarters, extra leaf or not.
