[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 24637982, member: 105571"]Before I sent them off to auction, I would get a purchase offer from the specialist dealers in IHCs like Charmy Harker (The Penny Lady) and Rick Snow (Eagle Eye Rare Coins). Then, or even at the same time, you can get an estimate of likely auction proceeds from the auction houses. When I go to a big show, I often see gentlemen of our vintage sitting at Charmy's table showing off and/or negotiating a sale of a box or boxes of coins. So, if you can get to a larger show, that's an option. You can also just call likely dealers and ask them if they will be at such-and-such a show and you'd like to set up an appointment for them to look at your collection and make an offer. It often seems to me that there's a tradeoff between speed, convenience, security and price. These criteria aren't mutually exclusive always but they can be. Your best results are often only attainable through time and leg-work.[/QUOTE]
