Bump - yes, we're working at 10:00 p.m. on a Friday night - we're currently marketing coins already consigned to prospective buyers... let us work this hard for your coins.... Consign to GreatCollections.
Just repeating the top post for convenience. We need more coins... The lowest rates in the industry, the fastest service, the friendliest people... okay, I'm biased, but try us out, even with a small consignment (we have no minimum consignment value)... I'm sure you will be impressed.

>>> We are always looking for consignments large and small of certified coins (PCGS, NGC and ANACS) for our weekly online auctions.
About GreatCollections: We are authorized dealers at PCGS, NGC and ANACS, attend most major coin shows, members of the National Auctioneers Association, ANA and FUN.

Here is a link to our "selling coins" webpage, where you can print consignment forms (or we can mail you hard copies, which are duplicate). I've highlighted the main points below, especially about fees and key policies. Remember, we have no minimum for consignments (no minimum on individual value of coins, nor total consignment).

Seller's Fees 0% for coins that sell for $1,000 and over. 5% for coins that sell for less than $1,000 (no minimum, so on a $25 coin, you are paying $1.25).
Listing Fees A $3-$10 fee, the first time a coin is listed (based on the minimum bid of the coin). Unsolds are relisted up to five times, and no listing fee is charged on relists.
Minimum Bids There are three ways to set minimum bids:
1. Have GreatCollections set them 2. Start at a percentage of the values you state on the form (50%, 65% or 80%) 3. Start at a minimum bid of $1
Different consignors like different ways to set minimum bids. Some like more than one (we just ask to keep each different minimum bid selection to a separate consignment form).
Time to List Coins We are very fast. Coins generally upload to our website in a matter of days. We always like coins to be listed online for at least seven days, and we're currently uploading about 12 days ahead of the auction date (ie. coins uploaded 4/6 for auctions that will end on 4/17). All auctions end on Sundays (at the moment) at different times, usually between the hours of 5 and 8 p.m. Pacific Time (we've extended tomorrow's auction so some items are selling 8 p.m. - 10 p.m.)
Cash Advances We offer quick cash advances for anyone who wants to take advantage of selling by auction, but needs some money up front. Advances can be up to 70% of the value of the coins (usually 40-50%). We charge 0.75% a month for cash advances (ie. $7.50 per month on cash advance of $1,000). In most cases advances are out for only a matter of a few weeks.
Consignor Payments We pay all consignors 30 days from the date of their sale. We can also trade-out consignor payments with purchases you have made from GreatCollections. This is an option when "checking out" on your invoice.
Your Coins are Insured All consignments are insured while in our possession, by our extensive policy with Lloyd's of London. We are members of ANA, FUN and NAA (National Auctioneers Association), and also authorized dealers at PCGS, NGC and ANACS. Industry references available by request (I can even give references of regular PCGS board members!).
I tried Great Collections, and I was very pleased with the results. I sent in five coins, just to give it a try. They all sold for strong prices. The fees were very reasonable, and much better than Teletrade. So far, the service has also been very good.
So, I just sent Ian another consignment, which is larger this time.
Might give you a try. Do you allow coin bundles -- that is several coins that individually worth <1000 but bundled together are worth >1000, and if so are the eligible for the 0% commission? For instance a bundle of fifty (50) silver proof sets that would be valued around $40-45 each.
Group lots (or multi-coin auctions) count as one lot - so if it sells for more than $1000 as a single lot, no seller's fees applies. Example: 2006-W $1 Silver Eagle set of three coins graded PCGS 70 sells for $1400 hammer. Consignor gets $1400, no seller's fees. If the three coins were sold individually, then each coin would be less than $1000, so 5% seller's fees would apply to each coin. Despite our seller's fees on coins sub $1000, our total fee structure is still lower than all of our competition.
(And as for raw coins, we handle these on a case-by-case basis - most are estates. We're obviously focused on certified coins (and raw coins that we can arrange to be graded by PCGS at our discounted rates)).
