I am thinking about selling my collection of Indian medals and other exonumia as well as Indian Princely States. The value of the coin/medal ranges from $10 to $150 with a large number of them falling in the middle of the range. I know how to dispose off the high end stuff and wondering if there are any suggestions on how to do the middle to low end ones. I do not have the resources to sell them on eBay since there are too many of these. I tried contacting some specialized dealers and they would only buy it as a lot. I bet I will just get a fraction of the market value and might break even or even make a loss at the same. Any suggestions to how to dispose these off and any dealers in your experience who offer the best prices?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Why not offer them to WoC members under the for sale section at a fixed price of your choosing ( preferably somewhat under eBay prices so they are that much more attractive  ;D)

Im sure you'll sell something and help fellow members along the way ... Kinda win-win ?

I agree with paisepagal.
Or the other option could be to sell them through some auction house like Todywala or Oswal or Classical Numismatics. They charge a commission of 10% on the hammer price, both from the buyer as well as seller. But you can get the maximum price through auctions, as these auction houses have quite a wide reach amongst the coin and medal collectors.
