<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1282694, member: 15019&quot;]You might be surprised, as far as foreign coins at least. The competition for many foreign coins here is not nearly as fierce as for US coins of similar rarity. I never imagined sending an eBay seller an additional payment after winning an auction and receiving the coins, but I find myself doing it pretty routinely. Sometimes the bargains are so good that I feel guilty about it and send more money to make it at least 50% of what the coins are worth.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Selling a collection in your lifetime definitely can lead to losses, but collections that have survived generations are pretty much always going to be worth a whole lot more than when they were first assembled. I collect and deal, but I can honestly say I would leave my collection to my kids, and make sure they are educated enough to appreciate them as more than a dollar sign. The coins I do sell are basically those that are doubles or I&#039;m not interested in collecting, and sell them only to buy more coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
