While auctions may be beneficial as a way to ensure a sale of your collection, the seller never knows what price they will receive until the hammer drops. And while a buyer at an auction can keep bidding until they feel it isn’t worth the price, the seller may not get their end goal of the amount they desire.
Fox Valley Coins owned and operated Fox Valley Coin Auctions, one of the top coin auction houses in the midwest, for 17 years. During that time, we had many customers ask why they did not get as much in the auction as they were offered by Fox Valley Coins in the store. This is because we cannot promise any certain price when sold at auction.
All of our prices given in the store are good for cash or check on the spot.
