<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 7807208, member: 117420"]You're not the only one my friend. I'm in a very similar predicament and having almost the exact same issue(s) and need(s) as yourself. Have given up finding anyone/dealer large/able enough to buy my entire lifetime, high-grade collection and have not the skills, know-how or time for other options. Maybe consider something similar to this: I have chosen to have a local, established and trusted auction service auction off my U.S. and foreign collections in October...likely over two days as it's large...mostly piece by piece. He's not a coin expert but he knows enough, plus I'm coaching him <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. There will be a few multiple-lots (for one money) of some AU coins, but most are MS silver, and/or graded and stand on their own, value-wise. He's only charging me 12-percent plus the nominal rental of our city's conservation club. Will be advertising ahead online plus in the Louisville, Cincy, Nashville, Indy and St Louis areas...all no more than a 3-hr. drive. When I added up all the fees and charges from a coin-auction house plus required grading fees (by many auction houses) for my raw/non-graded coins (the majority)...or all the fees and shipping costs if by/from eBay and someone to do it for me, I'm almost if not better off this way and with much less hassle for me, all things considered. Again, worth considering. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
