Coins that don't quite make the "Cut"

trout · June 12, 2014, 10:07:12 AM

Ok I have been mucking about getting coins graded by PCGS and NGC for my collection and for resale.
I have noticed that I now have a rather large number of nice coins Spare/extra that didn't make the Cut to send to the plastics factory for various reasons.
1. The coin doesn't grade high enough (in my opinion) to warrant slabbing.
2. The value of the coin doesn't warrant the grading fee.
3. The coin has minor imperfection's that could get it sent back in a bodybag.
4. I have already "Cherry Picked" the best from a bunch for my collections and are spare.

What do you lot do with these coins?

Interest: you beat me to it!

Seriously trout, I suspect the coins you are talking about would still be fairly desirable and selling them on ebay (or here) would be worthwhile.

I'm selling most of my excess or ungradable coins on ebay to finance more grading costs and new purchases

these sort of thing and lots of proofs and silver proofs in all decimal denominations.
Nothing super special but they are still quite nice.
I might whack a few on eBay as it is cold and nasty outside anyway.
Are the pic's "Up to Scratch" ?
I am having fun with the camera anyway

Your pictures are definately getting better but luster is always hard
to photograph.It takes me quite a few attempts to get a half decent
shot

no worries it has taken me all day to list only 15 coins.

I don't know how you mob can list dozens of items let alone Walters work load listing all that stuff on Numisbid without going "Nuts"

I usually take all of the photos I need and have them in a folder on my computer ready to go and then it only takes about 3 minutes per coin to list them so if I have no interuptions I can do about 20 coins per hour.When I've finished the first coin I click on sell similar which cuts down on redoing some of the information.There may be faster ways of doing it but it works for me
