<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 2917813, member: 44357&quot;]I largely did this when exiting the US market and switching into ancients. In my case, I picked a trusted dealer and had him slowly liquidate coins, some via private sales, some via auctions, and some he bought outright.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless it&#039;s material for which a dealer already has a buyer lined up, you&#039;re going to take a sizable haircut trying to sell outright. I&#039;d instead suggest spreading the consignment around, especially if they&#039;re all of a similar collecting sphere (collectors only have a fixed amount of money and if you dump a ton of coins which would be bought by the same people, they&#039;ll run out before they can buy it all).</p><p><br /></p><p>If your coins are worth more than $300 or so each, I&#039;d steer clear of eBay and instead consign them to a real dealer. If you know what you want for them and want to just go for fixed prices, Harlan Berk&#039;s Buy/Bid sales would probably suit you well.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re wanting to roll the dice a bit, consigning them to CNG is what I&#039;d suggest. I just dropped off some duplicates myself and will have some more to give them in January. Depending on your price bracket, they could find their way into the next Triton auction, Mail Bid sale, or eSale. And they certainly get enough eyes on the coins to have them sell for good prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, unless you need the money very quickly, I&#039;d suggest being as patient as possible and trying different avenues. However, once you put out a coin, it won&#039;t be &quot;fresh&quot; so ensure you&#039;re selecting the right sales venue for the coin and setting a fair price for it. Having it go unsold could reduce demand for a while.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
