Liquidating my "Granny bait" collection

[trout]

I have an album full of Grannybait silver coins that I no longer want.
They were fun to collect but my collecting goals have changed and I rarely even look at these anymore.

Any ideas on how I should go about selling these would be appreciated as they cost me quite a lot of money to acquire .

If I list them on eBay should I list them separately or in sets, eg the bird coins or the endangered species coins.

A lot of them still have the original packaging and the rest don't.
About 80 coins all up.

If I was selling the "grannie bait coins" as you call them, I would start with the single coins first to test the market.

If all goes well, then go for the sets.

The ones that don't have any packaging might, in my opinion, be lucky to get scrap silver value.

Packaging is the thing.

Dependant on your age, can I further suggest you leave them to your grandchildren etc.

I would prefer to leave them high quality slabbed coins and Gold coins

I listed a bulk lot of 10 roo coins on the bay, I'll see how these perform :ok:

Sadly, that is absolutely true. I just picked up a handful of "naked" proofs in capsules, for a fraction of what they would have been in original packaging.

True but the coins that were packaged in PVC would be ruined by now if I left then in them,For example the 1982 commonwealth games $10 coins and the State $10 coins just to mention a couple.
I do still have these horrible PVC folders they came in but I refuse to put coins into them, I will just add them to the listings and explain that they are certain death for coins stored in them :ok:

Not necessarily , I listed 10 capsulated coins without any packaging 7 hrs ago and got what I wanted for them and  better that 2x melt

Good for you trout, well done.   There is money around then go for it.

if you have any $100 or $150 gold coins available, I could be interested.
