Best way to sell coin collection on eBay?

• I have a coin collection with a couple hundred coins of various denomination (all US coins/currency). It looks like eBay is the best way to sell them so my question is would I be better off to group them together or sell them separately. If I group them, do I mix up the dates - for example, 10 mercury dimes in consecutive date order or sell 10 of the same - 10 1946 mercury dimes? thanks!

• Answer:

  This is a difficult question to answer without knowing exactly what you have. A group of 10 consecutive date mercury dimes would be bought by a collector starting a collection. A group of 10 coins of the same date would be bought by someone looking for scrap silver. You should group coins by denomination first. Then by design type, and finally by date. Remember that you should try to group by expected value. Only a fool would buy a coin worth 25 cents and pay $3 for postage.
