<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3185821, member: 19463&quot;]Each time we get a new member or someone who slides over from the modern side asking us to sort coins and set up their sales, they act like we have never seen this trick before.&nbsp; What you are saying is you are happy to sell fools who collect ancients your unwanted coins but you are too busy to put in the work that we should do for free.&nbsp; The people on this board are happy to help new folks learn what they need to know to enjoy the hobby but we are tired of repeated requests from pretend dealers who want free labor.&nbsp; If you want to sell the coins, take them to a dealer who handles such things and ask for his offer.&nbsp; Most will refuse them since dealers tend to get enough of this sort of material when they buy a collection that includes coins that will sell easily.&nbsp; Ancients have a problem not seen in US coins where the worthless still have a face value.&nbsp; There are coins that would take more effort to market as individuals than they are worth unless you get lucky and find a new collector who finds them worth studying.&nbsp; Donating them to the Latin teacher at a local school is the easy way out.&nbsp; Selling them as a group to someone with surplus time is only slightly more profitable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
