<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1907732, member: 3726"]I think Tom nailed it - in about post 3. My opinion only. I sold with heritage - no 40k coin, but I only paid a 5% premium.

So basically you do not get as much, but you get the cash quicker. This method lost me the most money, but in some cases I could live with it.</p><p>(2) Method 2 will probably net you the post. This is consigning coins to a dealer or a specialist. You can work on the percent commission charged with a good seller. This is probably the slowest way to sell - a good seller will work to get you the most. Of course assuming your price is reasonable to start with. I have worked with several in this method and felt the dealers where great to work with and did a great job. This method definitely netted me the most cash.</p><p>(3) Method 3 is consigning to an auction house. Depending on what you have you can negotiate the commission price. Mine was easy with heritage - they dropped to 5% sellers fee before getting the coins. This method is not as quick as (1) and does not net as much as (2). But you know when you get the coins. Be aware up front with heritage they might put some of the coins in Sunday and Tuesday auction. For me the coins of mine they put in the auctions did not net as much as the premier auctions.
