Unsurprised but a little disappointed.

Well my first consignment experience has come and gone and to tell you the truth, I'm a bit disappointed but unsurprised. I knew that I market was down and I wouldn't fetch top dollar, but I was still hoping.

These were inexpensive modern coins I didn't particular love, and had little passion for, I hope they all found good homes. Frankly I'll going to miss the points more then the coins, and with this being true it is better that they left my care. I will say I have learned the following lessons:

1)For the ease and conveince: consignment beats DIY sale anyday

2)For Modern issues "investment grades" are not

3)Collect what you love: I will still collect modern coins but not in hopes of an eventual payday.

4)For investment good coins, ones that will hold value, are not cheap coins

Overall, a good learning experience, at a not to steep price.

Happy collecting everyone.
