<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Davobenz, post: 2263595, member: 76162&quot;]When it comes to selling, perhaps I may have some problem in getting the best price for my collection due to lack of recent selling experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sold my first collection way back in 1976 on consignment through a dealer.</p><p>I have continually maintained good contact with him since that time, and have since built another collection, much larger than the first. The first&nbsp; collection included four ancient gold coins in a collection of about 100 ancient coins, and an Australian gold silver and bronze type set comprising 17 gold coins, the bronze and silver coins of the rarest date for type.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Since 1976, I have collected World coins ancient to about 1950, and have about 200 coins, all cultures over 1,000 years old, mostly lower grades, but with a few gold coins in this period. Also have quite a few lower grade hammered and milled coins of lesser denomination since 1000 A.D., but with a small number of larger silver and smaller gold (including Indian and Islamic), to represent the period 1000 A.D. to modern times. Current collection numbers around 1,500 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>My problem is that I have never sold any coin since then<i>! </i>That means total lack of current selling experience.</p><p>I have however, had some unsolicited approaches from an auctioneer friend of mine to sell my current collection. The problem here is that if you sell, by definition, you are not continuing to actually build your collection. A bit like cutting off your nose despite your face<i>!</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
