Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 7:23 pm Recently I received and paid for six (6) Constantine era coins from an acquaintance in Eastern Europe. I am listing all of these coins in CCF Auction, but thought I'd give a heads up to you guys. I've never sold by lot, but think I might try on these. Has anyone here had experience selling "lots" vs individual coins? Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 9:32 pm Do you have this lot up for auction yet? I would probably consider a lot if there is some variety, or a good opportunity--such as a nicer uncleaned group. Report this Post to the Staff
dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 10:10 pm Generally lot sales are for lesser coins that need grouping to make it worth handling or worth mailing. Some big dealers that have no interest in selling a solo $20 coin will handle a lot of ten coins for $200 which usually gets bought by a smaller dealer that will sell them individually for $40 each. We'd have to see the coins involved to say but I'd think any coin worth $10 would do better individually unless your trouble is worth more to you than the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 05/05/2012 11:10 pm I haven't listed them just yet. I just took the photos this afternoon. In my estimation, they are very common type Constantine era coins. Some are in fair condition, while a couple are in poor condition. I haven't even attributed them. They are not coins I need or want, but I felt somewhat obligated to purchase. I paid a total of $5 each plus shipping of $3. I suppose they are worth at least that much. Perhaps I should post the images and ask for help in attribution, then you all can see the quality, or lack thereof, of which I speak. So let's see how fast we can attribute these coins. They are all 17mm to 20mm except the last which is 22mm: Report this Post to the Staff

Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 05/06/2012 11:09 am Not a bad set at all. I agree, it would make a decent beginner's set with a mix of emperors. Report this Post to the Staff
