<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1204282, member: 112&quot;]What I would question more than anything would be your estimate of value since I have no idea of what you base your estimate on. What you think may be worth 50 may in reality only be worth 40 or 30 - possibly even less. But be that as it may, it is not likely that any major dealer would come to you unless they were going to be in the area anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, you thinking of auction consignment is probably your best bet to maiximize realized sales. The problem with auction consiignment is the time issue. It could realistically take 3 or 4 months before you ever got money in your hands. That is because the auction house (whichever one it is) will choose which auctions will likely be the best venue to sell your particular coins, depending upon what those coins are. But if time is not an issue, then there is certainly nothing wrong with going that route.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, if time IS an issue, then your best course of action would be to sell to a dealer outright. And if you go that route you will have to ship the coins to them before they will ever make an offer. That is easily done by using Registered Mail and 2 packages. Each package can be insured for $25 - which covers your value estimate.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you go this route be prepared for the offer to be between 60-80% of retail. And that will be a fair offer, no matter how much might think it is not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
