I do see that they offer a discount to normal slabbing fees and return coins at your expense that do not sell after two attempts so I could see someone using them to get their coins slabbed and setting a price that would guarantee their return. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will point out that this is the ancients section of Coin Talk. An advertisement of a source that has only 45 coins to offer is more likely to appeal to people who read CT areas where the venue has a following (slabbed US). Certainly the two coins shown as examples were not average or typical but they were not the worst there either. Is there search tool that would show closed sales that actually received bids? Paying $3 to $10 to list coins to be seen by few collectors and only being allowed one relisting for the money seems like a way of getting your coins submitted for grading. Whether it is a way to sell ancients returns us to the question of how many of the 45 lots actually draw a bid. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/328541/Ancient-Roman-AD-295-296-Maximianus-AD-286-305-AE-Double-Antoninianus-Cyzicus-ANACS-AG-03" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/328541/Ancient-Roman-AD-295-296-Maximianus-AD-286-305-AE-Double-Antoninianus-Cyzicus-ANACS-AG-03" rel="nofollow">http://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/328541/Ancient-Roman-AD-295-296-Maximianus-AD-286-305-AE-Double-Antoninianus-Cyzicus-ANACS-AG-03</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I can hardly wait to see the photo and result for the above lot.
