[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2917686, member: 39084"]This is why I suggest taking the top coins from the collection -- maybe it's 10 coins, maybe it's 100 coins -- and considering auctions or consignment of these individual coins. Of course, this must be communicated explicitly to the auction house or dealer: You want each coin listed individually with a reserve of $XXX. If the dealer or auction house is unwilling to do this, then you'll need to find a more cooperative reseller. This is the range I would expect a dealer to offer. This is one approach to maximizing your return on the collection, but has the potential to take a very long time and require an unavailable amount of your time to accomplish. Fundamentally, you have to make a decision about [I]time spent selling[/I] vs. [I]total amount received[/I]. These two factors are directly correlated -- you can't escape that financial reality.[/QUOTE]
