[QUOTE="jgenn, post: 3064804, member: 78525"]I suggest you message the other collector through NGC and let it be known that you will be selling your set at Great Collections but that you would be willing to sell directly because you've enjoyed the registry competition.

The idea of an escrow service for holding payment or coins sounds like a great idea to facilitate coin sales or trades. However, I am not aware of any, and I doubt if any major auction house would handle something like this since it would seem to conflict with their main business. I recently had the pleasure to chat with a well connected individual in this hobby and conclude that this kind of transaction is often brokered through the informal network of dealers. So an alternative solution might be to ask your favorite dealer to "hold" some coins and help with the transaction for a third party. Best of Luck, Jack[/QUOTE]
