<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2541604, member: 19463&quot;]I went to your Facebook page and saw photos of some coins that will sell easily but not necessarily in the highest level sales.&nbsp; The Gordian is a Gordian I and will sell for enough to pay a commission but it would not be the highest realizing Gordian I handled by places like CNG.&nbsp; Even nice coins of common, lower demand rulers would not bring enough to cover the minimum cost of handling from big sales.&nbsp; Those are the ones I would see sold by vest pocket dealers at shows.&nbsp; My question is how much would be eaten up by postage and a fair cut for the small dealer.&nbsp; Finally there are the coins that are probably not worth the postage unless Australia post is less than it is here.&nbsp; This includes Sabina, Valerian II, Quintillus, Agrippa and most of the late Romans.&nbsp;&nbsp; You main task is to decide if you will sort them into the piles or consign the bunch to someone (like JA ?) who would have to decide without emotion which ones would go best in which venue.&nbsp;&nbsp; How much you lose on all this will depend on how close to retail you paid and how much extra cost you incurred in postage/taxes etc. which never get repaid by the next buyer.&nbsp; I&#039;d look at the whole group and ask what planned trip you can take for the total paid less 50-75% expenses in selling.&nbsp; My wife just got back from a 10 day cruise which showed me how expensive travel can be.&nbsp; I stay home and buy coins.&nbsp; Best wishes on the sell-off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
