We couldn't have tried none if we wanted to. That was back in 2000. I just had graduated high school and never been out of the holler before in my life. I remember it being a good time getting to see it and all the other sight seeing. I can't remember exactly where it was but we also stopped and seen a big cave. I remember we had to take an elevator down into it and it had a great big waterfall down inside of it. It was pretty cool to see.

Modwriter Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Ok, this is what is going on with Great Collections. They are returning 17 of the coins and only going to auction 3 of them. I had to sell all of my silver to the local coin shop except for a quarter and mercy dime. Took a big loss. I'm just going to put everything on eBay, even my sports collectibles. Auction them all. It's been rough. Hoghead515 and rocket23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like most of your stuff is recent date, pulled from circulation. The W have value, but not much else. Sure, GC only takes 5%, compared to ebay/pp 13%, but they have listing fees too. $3-5. Not a big deal if you have $100 plus coins. But a $10 coin, half your sale is eaten up by fees. They prob did you a favor sending them back. They have a service where you can request an estimate ahead of time for what your coins might sell for. That's what I did, and I realized half of what I wanted to send in wasn't worth it. With what I did send in I netted $500 after fees/commission. So I was happy with their service. Thanks for the info Lance. Not having coin shows is a big hurt too.

It seems like I am being bombarded by those who've expressed an interest in moving my collection, including GC. When I was much younger, I was only interested in filling the holes. Now that I am much older, I've set my sights much higher and though my collection is complete, I won't feel comfortable letting it go until it is as close to perfection as possible. I think a number of us feel the same way. Modwriter and RonnieR131 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, in a nutshell, is why I have refrained from getting involved in these auctions. A quick look at prior sessions should let you know where you stand and what your chances are, taking into consideration prevailing sentiment and the situation in the marketplace, as to whether you will succeed as well as you feel you should. I am no expert, but I do know speaking strictly for myself, the difference between a complete collection -- and one that exudes greatness, and mine still has a ways to go. I wish you the best of luck on the lots GC has accepted. Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 43 minutes ago, MAULEMALL said: Quintus is befuddling today Not really. Modwriter has a total of 20 coins, only three of which are headed for the auction block. A complete collection does not necessarily qualify as a Great Collection. I don't know what specific coins Modwriter has collected or whether they reside in a Set Registry but he is apparently honest and humble enough to suggest he instinctively knows what he's got, if complete, does not constitute greatness. What would make it Great? Only he knows for sure. I wish him the best on his lots. It is never easy to let a collection laboriously compiled over time go -- and many members never do -- but it is an eventuality we all acknowledge and face, one way or the other.
