<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 2746935, member: 13307&quot;]Yep, you&#039;re correct - no &quot;Details&quot; grades that will hurt the resale value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like others have said, most dealers in the US don&#039;t care at all about world coins - too much effort, not enough interest, too long to make a sale.&nbsp; Which creates opportunities for those of us willing to put in the work.&nbsp; The point I&#039;ll try to convey is that one coin shop owner&#039;s opinion does not the truth make.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The Internet allows you to reach far, far beyond what a normal brick &amp; mortar shop can do - it can put you in touch with people who actually know, who actually care, and who are willing to pay for quality coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>If that were my coin, and I was planning to sell it, I might try this:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Get some really good photos of it and list it on eBay as a BIN/BO.&nbsp; You can leave it there for a pre-determined amount of time and can see if it gets any offers without your having to send it in to get slabbed.&nbsp; If it doesn&#039;t sell,</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Send it in to get graded.&nbsp; If it straight grades, especially MS (mint state), you&#039;re in a good position.&nbsp; Now all you have to do is get photos of the slab, add them to the already existing listing, and adjust the BIN/BO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, if I personally found that coin for less than 50 cents, it&#039;d already be on its way to NGC, and if it got an MS grade, I&#039;d probably keep it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t like the above options, I&#039;m sure you could also list it here in the WTS section and a few people might have already sent you PM&#039;s with offers.&nbsp; As the seller, you are going to make the call of which you value more - the highest selling price (but with more investment in time/money) or the quickest reasonable sale (minimal work, but less money.)&nbsp; Where knowledge and experience are present, you can determine the sweet spot between the two.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
