<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2352631, member: 57495&quot;]I understand your frustration when you&#039;re rebuffed by dealers or auction houses you may be trying to sell/consign your coins to when you see them selling similar coins in similar grades, but there may be a number of reasons for this.&nbsp; One reason that comes to my mind immediately is that those coins could have been been part of a larger consignment that included better coins and they had to take the lesser ones as a package deal.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding what you&#039;re being offered for your coins, my take is that, well, dealers need their profit, and it may be too much to ask for a hobby to also be a good store of wealth when you need to cash out your initial dollar investment into it.&nbsp; I&#039;m an optimistic pragmatist - 30% to 40% is the loss I expect to suffer if I have to sell any coin I bought in the near term.&nbsp; 50% may indeed be the figure depending on the sale venue chosen.&nbsp; I feel lucky that this hobby offers enough else to enjoy that being able to get back any sum of money at all is just a bonus.&nbsp; If I have to be concerned about how negative the return on my $ investment is going to get, I wouldn&#039;t be calling this a hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
