[QUOTE="Sholom, post: 792536, member: 17753"]a few thoughts that come to mind (which may or may not be on the mark!) [LIST] [*]ending time was tough -- folks on the west coast were at work, folks on the east cost might have been commuting home -- I suspect that during weekdays you want to end in the evening (during weekends, afternoon will work well, too) [*]you never said how many coins you had (granted, you listed them all, but you didn't count). You said 119 wheats, but not how many all together [*]the $100 one had some minor keys that yours didn't (1924-s, 1928-s, etc.) [*]large collections can be hit or miss when you can't compare them to a lot of other auctions -- so selling a single coin or a roll or something you can compare to other auctions or price guides you can probably start at .99, or even .01; but varied lots like the ones you had might catch fire, or might fall between the cracks [/LIST] Well, those are my thoughts . . . hindsight is 20-20[/QUOTE]
