Rare Coins?

Question

I have a massive coin collection 38,000 coins 1865-2006 many in mint state and 1,000 of these are Morgan Silver Dollars Pre-1899.
I would like to sell the collection to someone who wants a coin collection. I'm asking $47,500.00 for it. Don't want to sell to a coin dealer.

I'm selling it because, i have no one to leave it too, i have a terminal illness with about a year left before i'll be unable to travel. so want to be raise some cash but don't want to give it away to a greedy coin dealer.

Answer 1

I wish I could see them for I would be interested...

I would never buy over the internet without viewing.

Good Luck at finding a buyer.

Answer 2

You have a number of options (aside from a dealer) depending on how quickly you want to do this. Also it depends on how much knowledge you have as well as the effort you want to put into maximizing your return.
1. Ebay
2. Set up a table at a coin show.
3. Sell through an auction house.
4. Sell on consignment through a coin dealer.
5. Advertise in the paper or coin collector magazine.
6. Charitable gift if you can use the tax deduction.
This url has some good information on the above options.

I don't want your coins. But I am nosy and just wanted to know after you have put so much time into this collection. Why would you want to get rid of it?
