<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7950276, member: 19463&quot;]The only ancients worth selling to a dealer that is not a specialist in ancients are those that are worthless.&nbsp; People who are looking for the better ancients do not bother with shops with huge signs that say &#039;We Buy Gold&#039;.&nbsp; The only place to buy ancients is from a dealer or a seller who specializes or has studied ancients.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>40% would be a good return unless the coins were of a grade/type that sells itself.&nbsp; Consigning unimpressive ancients to an auction that has a minimum lot charge of $40 makes sending things worth even $50 unlikely to return a profit.&nbsp; I once knew show dealers that took coins on consignment at a better rate but that will take years to dispose of a group of a thousand coins worth $50 each. How those sell now, I do not know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
