I already have $50 in rolled and put in boxes, so I was wondering where I should go.
Should I keep rolling up pennies or should I start storing them loose? If this helps, I'm hoarding till around $75-$80 FV then selling some to buy a ryedale. I don't know if I should get a Sniper or an Apprentice.
Sorry for putting so many questions in one post.
Thanks.
In my opinion it is better to store and sell most of them loose. I think most buyers will want to look through the coins anyway. Also loose bags of coins seem to sell just fine on E bay. Having said that, there are a few catagories I do roll:
1910 - 1939 Wheats - There's supposed to be a higher premium on pre-1940s
1940 - 1958 Wheats
Canadian coppers - I don't separate them by copper weights yet, but I do roll the older "Young Queens" and "Kings" separately.
Almost Uncirculated (AU) - Coins with most of their shine and few if any flaws or wear.
"Copper Select" Coins from the 60s in above-average condition.
Weighed 1982 coppers - I roll them so they don't pile up.
Culls - Same reason
Whether you sell them loose or in rolls, do your best to pick out the culls to lessen the chance for a customer complaint.
