I thought that was too long and they also wanted to place the coin on the floor auction because the coin is like new. However they wanted a 20% fee after the coin was sold.

I replied saying that the procedure is always to have the coin sent, checked and stored. The replyni received was "we have never heard from you before and out of nowhere you come up with an expensive coin you want us to sell"....we have to be careful so we are not interested"!!!!!!!!! I feel insulted this is not professional and it is very strange and rude. I asked to talk with someone else incharge there but im just being ignored.
