<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1597650, member: 19463"]If you want to sell, offer them to a dealer who deals in and knows ancients - not some bullion buyer. The link you posted suggests that dealer would know nothing and have no interest in the coins unless they have someone to whom they wholesale lots like yours that happen into their hands. If you want to know the coins, you can photo them and post them here for help, but if all you want is a quick sale, just ask for names of buyers of lots. I see nothing terribly high end and nothing obviously bad but, like Mat said, fakes lurk and the value of the lot will depend on how many fakes and how much trash it contains. From what I see, I believe there will be few if any fakes. The selections look like a normal collection assembled over time and the sort of collection that gets 'inherited' without instructions from the owner. I do not see things that are almost always fake. The ball is in your court. Post photos and ask help or sell wholesale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
