[QUOTE="itZme, post: 171957, member: 6993"]Well, I went ahead and listed the first coins on Ebay for him. The only dealer within 15 miles of us had no interest in the collection and had some VERY lowball offers on the key date coins he had. Please let me know if there is anything I should do differently next time or if the ad looks fine as is. I tried to put the minimum bid around what he wanted to get out of it so if one bidder is all he gets then at least it won't go way under value. Also, can anyone tell me roughly how much it costs to have a coin certified/graded by a reliable company? I am wondering at what coin velue does it become more costly to have the coin graded than taking the loss for a non-graded coin sale. This one was done by a company called SEGS. I have read on this site that one called SGS is really generous on their grading but I thought this one was pretty much dead on. The coin seems like it would've been much higher if it weren't for the one dent on the face. Here's a link to the auction. Hope I didn't violate any rules by posting that. I just want advice not advertising the sale :) [COLOR="Red"]EDITED--Sorry but links to a members own items are in violation of rules---[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
