[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2423829, member: 71510"]It's unrealistic to expect to get maximum value without knowing anything about what you have or the grades. This is what coin dealers are for, but you should know before you go in - so the one way you achieve your goal is by taking the time to learn and research what you have - and the fair market price. Ebay will cost you 15% of the total by the time you include fees and shipping - and that's if there are no problems with the transactions. A traditional auction house will hit you for 35% and take all the burden. A coin dealer will give you immediate cash and probably give you 50% of value, less if you are ignorant. Going to a coin club is your best bet to learn - and see if anyone has interest in them in general and then make a fair deal. The same way you'd sell anything else, find out the details and condition - and then base it on market price.[/QUOTE]
