You also agree to follow these guidelines. You must agree to these rules to be a member of this forum. NO SPAM! Spam is deleted within minutes, no spam will ever be left in our community.

1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Craigslist like this is just as risky as ebay or any other online transaction. I guess I need to know a couple things... How do you know they low-balled you on their offers? Do you know the grade and value of the coins? Do you think you will get retail for your coins?

You should know that most people's coins are not worth what they hope or think they're worth and World coins are less desirable here in the states. I wish I could help but I need more information.

it might be helpful to keep in mind:
:eureka:
'who' is most likely to 'buy these from me'?....a dealer broker (now), or wait out (find) a 'collector'
'how big' is the market for these 'exact coins'?....the 'demand for' them
'how' can i 'prove their genuine'?....having them 'certified' (no matter the grade)
'where' is the best place to 'look for a buyer'?....shows, ads in coin pubs, coin clubs (target the 'coin people')
