Sold

Hi, I usually post on comics, so please forgive me if I'm not doing this correctly. I am in the midst of selling my father's coin collection (probably more of an accumulation, and I just sorted out the pennies.

 

I thought I'd try offering them here, before listing them on Ebay. Although I see many listings on Ebay as unsorted, these have been sorted, many years ago

 

They were most probably all from change, but some may be from change a long time ago, there were no additions to the collection after 1973.

 

I didn't go through each vial or paper roll to count them, but I did look at the top one or two to make sure the dates were correct. Most of the rolls will be 50 pennies.

 

There are over 7,000 coins, probably more, but I want to be conservative. The conditions appear to be mixed, some are very low grade, some much higher. What grade the higher ones are, I have no idea, but with pennies, I didn't want to start taking them apart.

 

I would like to sell the collection as one lot. Someone was kind enough to show me the fair market value list, so I estimated ...using the lowest condition value and where the rolls were mixed, the lowest average price for the roll (if that makes any sense? ) and an came up with a fair market value (at the lowest condition) of about $415.00.

 

I would like $325 for the group plus exact shipping. I think I will need 2 flat rate boxes, because of the weight. If that is too high, I'd take reasonable offers.

 

I have quite a bit of feedback on Ebay under skypinkblu, but no experience with coins.

 

I will accept Paypal, Money Orders or Personal checks and the items will be mailed no more than 2 days after receiving payment. (probably less).

 

Here is the list...and thank you for reading this long post.

Wow, that looks like a great, fun lot! Your price is exceptionally fair, and I am sure a variety hound will buy your lot. Good luck!
