<p>[QUOTE=&quot;prolawn_care, post: 1072427, member: 28155&quot;]Coin auction houses have always yeilded the highest return for me... And i only list with auction houses that do online and in person or just online bidding. Reason for that is:</p><p>1. I can watch the auction and see what my coins are bringing in.</p><p>2. With an online auction the sky is the limit to the amount of people watching and or bidding.</p><p>3. Most auction houses charge 10% or so (i&#039;ve cosigned at 5% before) and then the buyer has to pay a slight buyers premium. But most auction especially here lately have brought higher than normal prices. One example a 1964 half dollar is auctioned, and it&#039;s melt is worth about $10 or so and it sells for $12... Not sure why but it&#039;s been very common in the past month or two.</p><p>4. They have the ability to sell houndreads to thousands of coins in one night. </p><p>5. If they need to they can split up a large collection into multiple days...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just my opinion but all dealers are there to make a profit alnog with these &quot;traveling&quot; companies (especially these guys with the large overhead), where as an auctioneer makes his money, but at the same time they are selling direct to the collector, and not using a middleman such as a coin dealer. And they have less overhead, because they might only store your coins for a few days or weeks before selling them rather than sitting on them for a few months or years before they sell.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just my 2 cents worth...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
