<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 8479842, member: 86498&quot;]Unfortunately you have to take as much care selling your collection as you did buying it. My own experience has been spotty. I have used private treaty, auctions, selling to dealers, and even in some cases donations to museums. All have their place. As [USER=36248]@geekpryde[/USER] indicated you should have photos of your coins. This would help a lot. If you want to sell on eBay that would be necessary. It also would be a good idea if you want to dispose of the collection at auction to send them some pics and&nbsp; get their response. </p><p>&nbsp; One thing though when doing your evaluations of the value of your coins you need to be absolutely ruthless. Comparing your coins to those which sold at auctions such as CNG or AC Search can be useful however Auctions can be crap shoots.&nbsp; I have seen some of my coins do extremely well and others die.&nbsp; You have to be prepared for that. Overall I have been happy with my results. Though coins do die overall given what I thought the group would be worth I invariably did better. Good luck. </p><p>A couple of my coins that I had sold. </p><p>Tetricus II Ae Antoninianus&nbsp; 273-274 AD Obv Bust right radiate Rv sacrificial implements RIC 259 2.09grms 18 mm CNG E Auction 433 Lot 475 November 28 2018 Paid $125 Back in 2010 Got $360 Minus fees. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1501563[/ATTACH] </p><p>Tetricus I Ae Antonininus 271-274 AD Obv Bust right radiate.

The Tetricus I actually caused me some concerns. I knew that it was a good coin with a strong reverse, however I was fully prepared for this coin to die. I knew that it would have an estimate at $100 and it was entirely possible it would make a grand total of $60. Fortunately it did not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
