Just Bob - Thanks for the suggestion regarding the PCGS Forum. I will check it out!

Thanks for the response and info. In general, my coin inventory (that I'm selling) includes the following: David Hall Graded Coins: (5) 1881 thru 1884 Morgan Dollars (all GEM UNC., MS-65). (1) 1936 York Half Dollar (GEM UNC., MS-65) (1) 1943-S Mercury Dime (GEM UNC., MS-65) IGA Graded Coins: (11) 1883 thru 1904 Morgan Dollars (all MS-65/65) NGC/PCGS Graded Coins: Various Morgan Dollars, Peace Dollars, $20 Liberty Head Gold Coins, and $20 St. Gaudens Gold Coins (MS-61 thru MS-67) Ungraded/Other Coins: (hundreds of coins) Large lots of circulated half dollars (Walking Liberty, Franklin & Roosevelt) (20) 1881-S Morgan Dollar (coins in plastic container with "63-65 MINT" on cover) (1) 1881-S Morgan Dollar, BU (1) 1904 $20 Gold Liberty Head (appears uncirculated) (1) 1904-S $20 Gold Liberty Head (appears uncirculated) (1) 1921 D Morgan Dollar (appears uncirculated) (1) 1922 S Peace Dollar (40) 1959-D Franklin Half Dollar (coins in plastic container with "63-35" on cover) (20) 1964 Canadian Silver Dollars, Uncirculated (20) 1979 Mexican 100-peso coins, MS-63 to MS-65 (40) 1982 Mexican Libertad Onza, Brilliant (3) 1994 Austrian 500-Schilling 1/4 oz. gold coins I'm located in Arizona (Phoenix area). On a related note, I believe the coins graded by David Hall and IGA were graded in the 1980s. Back then, did the grading scale generally stop at MS-65? I wonder if some of the coins labeled as MS-65 may be a higher grade using today's scale. For example, see below for the 1943-S Mercury Dime that was given a grade of MS-65. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response and information. I've received your PM and sent you a response with more information. I completely understand the concerns regarding me being a new member with no history on the boards. I've been collecting coins (non-professionally) for over 40 years and am in the process of liquidating an inherited coin collection with a large number and variety of coins. Are there third-party entities that assist with coin sales between individuals that provide protection to both the buyer and seller, or what is the typical way to go about selling to another individual who doesn't live in one's area? Thanks also for recommending Great Collections. I may contact them to see if they're a good fit for liquidating this collection.

I have a handful of coins graded by David Hall in the blue flips, as well as some graded by IGA from the 1980s. See attached for a few examples. Does anyone have experience selling coins like this? I'm inclined to remove them from their sealed holders and have them graded by NGC or PCGS, but I've also heard they could be worth more in the sealed holders to certain collectors. If they are valuable, where is the best place to sell them? Ebay won't allow these to be sold as 'graded' since the graders are not on their approved list. Any advice or input would be appreciated. Thanks.
