<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3697780, member: 19463"]I have an opinion on everything: I believe the important part of selling or buying is to find a venue that fits your coins. A sale where coins worth $100,000 are common will not return well on $100 coins due to their high minimum fees and the lack of interest on the part of people with big money who simply do not want $100 coins. Similarly, a sale with many lower priced coins would be a terrible place to sell your super high end material. In your case it all depends on which VF and EF grading system you use. There are dealers who use VF to mean 'almost legible' or 'not terrible for something half eaten by corrosion'. I suggest you compare what you have to the coins sold by prospective sellers in the past and pick one that seems to fit what you actually have as opposed to what you wish you had. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree but would be very sure before sending anything out of your home country that you have a firm grasp on the laws concerning export/import of ancient coins both from your country and for the receiving country.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
