<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1960905, member: 19463&quot;]I agree with TIF.&nbsp; Try it.&nbsp; All you have to do is find a lot that has promise that no one who knows more than you has spotted and then bid more than others who hope to get rich by selling the coins and more than lot collectors like TIF, stevex6 and medoraman are willing to pay or skipped because they saw no promise in that same lot.&nbsp; Not long ago, CNG had some really great large lots with such things as 100 high grade coins of Constantine the Great and ten slightly worn but attractive sestertii of Maximinus I.&nbsp; Those coins should sell themselves but only if you show them to enough people who are looking for those coins at the price you feel the need to charge after you pay the bottom line invoice.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I guarantee you will learn something from the experience.&nbsp; I don&#039;t guarantee what it will be.&nbsp; There is one thing I know about auctions that I win:&nbsp; I paid more than anyone else who saw it was willing to pay.&nbsp; I have to ask myself why.&nbsp; Recently, I bought a coin that had something special on it that almost no one but me would appreciate so I was willing to pay more than others here would have.&nbsp; Recently I bought a coin for what I considered a fair price that I happened not to have and had been meaning to buy.&nbsp; I guess other people saw it and decided they could do better elsewhere or could continue to live without it.&nbsp; Recently I was third highest bidder on a coin that sold for almost $800 more than I bid.&nbsp; I guess the other two guys knew something I didn&#039;t.&nbsp;&nbsp; When you get your lot and have listed them for sale, let us know so we can bid. Just be sure you buy a lot with coins in it that collectors like us will be wanting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
