<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1960959, member: 19463"]How many coins have you seen that you want costing $1? $5? $10? The kind of lot you are more likely to come out of with a profit is probably $20-50 a coin and that will require you to know which ones are $10 and which are $100. If you don't know, who do you expect to tell you? If you put them all on eBay with a $1 start, the better ones will get ten bids in the last five seconds. If you put them all up at $50, many will get no bids. Which is better? </p><p><br /></p><p>There is a sale closing Sunday which has a lot of 7 tetradrachms already at about $100 a coin. When it closes what will it bring? There are larger lots of denarii and antoniniani that would be fun at about $25 per coin but less fun at $50. The question is how many of you are watching those lots. Is anyone here bidding on a large lot Sunday? Is it OK to name a sale before it closes? I'm only interested in a couple single lots but still enjoy seeing what others pay for the large lots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
