<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 2844059, member: 88212"]I can not post scans due to lack of knowledge and equipment. In the past I have traded various items by sending all of my duplicates and my want list. The receiver takes what he wants and returns the rejects and the items I want. If you assign a base value to each item then calculating boot works well and easily. Trust is the key. If you were trading only high grade and valuable items the risk would be that your nice item would be swapped out for a not so nice identical piece. I have done this with postal covers, tokens, military insignia, magazines and books. It should work equally well with low grade ancient coins. Later this year - after I have made a proper want list - I will try a similar trade here. I intend to call it a PIG IN A POKE WITH A TWIST. The pig is no photos and using coin shop attributions. The twist is traders see my coin in hand along with my want list. They then send me one coin from my want list for each coin they take of similar grade OR two lower grade coins from my want list. Right now I'm trying to make a rulers type set. I burned a $500 store credit and took an entire inventory of identified ancients. There were not nearly as many different as I hoped leaving me many duplicates.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
