<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2678402, member: 19463&quot;]We see two answers to this question on eBay.&nbsp; One is to tell people that these are rare 1700 year old coins worth using as a basis for a collection for only $250.&nbsp; This means you hope never to run across the buyer in the future and particularly hope he is not the next dentist you visit.&nbsp; The other way is to list them as an identified lot of low grade coins from which an absolute beginner will get $25 worth of education and $25 worth of coins for only one payment of $25.&nbsp; Either way, you may see the coins again on eBay but this time billed as rarities at $25 each.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Many of us accumulate coins we bought earlier in our game that quite frankly we wish we had not bought let alone paying $25 for when $10 was closer to right.&nbsp; I have trouble telling people they should buy my mistakes from 1987 but it really grates me when they decide that they should look for a 2017 sucker to buy 1987 mistakes.&nbsp; Those are the coins I believe should be given to charities like Ancient Coins for Education or sold to someone who might just actually turn into a collector rather than a flipper.&nbsp; I wish I knew how to tell the difference.&nbsp; Most collectors I know don&#039;t want my cast offs since they have a pile of their own.&nbsp; Watch JA&#039;s sales here on CT and see how many $10 coins sell let alone draw multiple bids.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t worry about the hidden $10k coin.&nbsp; People with that kind of luck should buy Lottery tickets.&nbsp; Finding an R5 rarity in a junk lot is not all that unusual but finding an ugly one someone will pay big money for really is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
