[QUOTE="Deacon Ray, post: 2917675, member: 81896"][FONT=Georgia]Starting over with another type of ancient coin or another era of coin? I sold one ancient coin on eBay [/FONT][I][FONT=Georgia]as an experiment[/FONT][/I][FONT=Georgia] and lost money in the deal. I've heard some sad stories about ancient coin collectors—strapped for money—selling to dealers who do not specialize in ancients at considerable loss. When I part with my collection ([I]no time soon I promise you[/I]) I'm going to have my collection [I]generously [/I]appraised. Then donate the whole collection to a church or a university. I'll then be able to claim it as a charitable donation on my income taxes. If you donate the collection to an institution it may be named after you—“[I]The Jay GT4 Collection[/I]” ;)[/FONT][/QUOTE]
