Where to Sell a Date-Set Collection?

Recommended Posts

Some years ago, I assembled a date set of half pennies, 1672 to, I think, 1836. I wanted coins grading VF or better, though probably some are in a lesser grade.

Most dates were readily available but some, like the tin pieces, were not.

Time to sell. What is the best way to go about it?

Many thanks,

Bill

If you've got a 1686 then I'm interested.

Thank you all! I am having trouble parting with these old friends but now have good suggestions to decide between.

By the way, I do have a 1686, Peck 552. (A fully lettered edge and well struck up, but has rough surfaces and its plug is not copper-colored). :angry:

The 1687, Peck 554, is much better.

Again, thanks. I'll get them out, see what's what, and hopefully act soon.

I would certainly be interested in VF early milled halfpennies for my type collection : Charles II, James II, William and Mary, William III, George I, especially. The commoner types would do for me.

CH2toWm4, you seem undecided. If these coins have become old friends, perhaps best not sell them. Are you prepared for the aftermath? Can you bare the potential dismay of seeing them some day on Ebay being bartered for and treated as mere chips of commerce? If your heart is not in it - don't sell.
