No offense, but neither of your suggestions would be acceptable.

#1 ... The decision is not mine to make. I am an employee doing eBay
listings for a coin shop. If I am going to be "selling" these nickels,
rather than taking them to a bank .. I am pretty certain that the boss would
expect some profit. After all, he pays me to do this sort of thing .. For
face value, he may as well just start putting them in the register and
making change with them.

#2 The hours that it would take to make a list and then pick through the
list, wouldn't pay my salary .. and if there were time to do that, we would
have to sell them for more than 2 cents over face. When customers come into
the store, we let them pick through buckets of loose money ... they don't
pay face for what they get and I don't imagine we buy at face either. For
example, we buy wheats for 2 cents and sell them for 3.

As their accountant/ebay person let me add .. This isn't emptying my coin
jug at home, there are salaries to pay, rents to pay .. etc etc .. And if
it was my coin jug, I wouldn't make a list of thousands of nickels and sell
them for 5 cents.

I was just making an offer because I thought some people would be
interested. Just keep going to the bank and buying rolls .. I only
mentioned it here because most of these Jeffersons are 40's 50's and 60's
....

I am a "lurker" here and I read a post a few weeks ago where the poster
said he buys rolls of nickels at the bank each week. I thought I would
mention that I have a few thousand nickels. Most are dates earlier than
1970 ... I sell them for 7 cents each in lots of 300 plus $8 for the flat
rate priority mail postage. If anyone here is interested in them, email
me: euramcoins at hotmail dot com -

Whatever I don't sell in the next week or so, I am going to roll and take
to the bank. Pennies are next .. ugh.

If you're willing to accept 5c per for the ones you don't sell to rcc at 7
cents per, why not offer them all to rcc for 5c per, especially since you
get to pick which ones are available to rcc? Or privide a list of what
you have, and allow rcc to pick which ones to buy at 7c per?
