Collections, Lots Australia Australia, Oceania Coins: World Coins & Paper Money

A possible place to start is coin shops, sometimes they come into large collections, and sometimes they sell coin collections or lots on a consignment basis. Coins shows are a great idea. Not only will you find dealers selling entire collections or large lots of coins, you may find individuals doing so as well. Coins can be obtained mail order from dealers found on the internet or in advertisements in the backs of coin collecting magazines. You most likely can find a better price if you shop around. All too often however, over-graded coins or problem coins are sold mail order, so make sure whatever dealer you talk to has a fair return policy.

 

Auctions can be an excellent source of collections or lots of coins. Auctions can be real, live in-person auctions or online auctions. Many people sell off collections at bargain prices However, be aware that the coins in these collections are likely to be over-graded. If you get a bargain price, that may not affect the overall value of the collection or lot, it still may be worth considerably more than what you paid for it.
