In the event that your coin/currency does not sell the first time, we will relist your item in up to two additional auctions for no additional unsold fees. If your coins/currency sells in one of these additional auctions, you will only pay a seller's fee calculated on the realized price.
Buybacks/Reserves and Fees
Teletrade does not place buybacks, also known as reserves, on behalf of our consignors. All buybacks/reserves are to be placed by the consignor no later than 1 hour prior to auction start time. Consignors are notified via email and standard mail, 10 days prior to auction, of all the necessary information on how to place these buybacks/reserves. Consignors are charged a flat 5% fee (minimum $5, maximum $100) on their full buyback/reserve bid on any lots that go unsold as a result of the buyback/reserve. All unsold coins/notes that must be returned to the consignor will be assessed the following Return Shipment Charge.
Consignor Coin/Currency Return Fee (per shipment):
$15 (up to 10 lots) plus $5 per each additional 10 lots.
Scheduling
Teletrade's staff of numismatists hand select the lots in each auction, and therefore reserve the right to place all coins in the most appropriate auction, to get you the most for your coins.

All consigners are notified 10 days prior to the auction start date of when they should expect there coins to be in auctioned. The notifications are via email and delivered letter.

Fast Cash
Need cash quickly? Teletrade offers a generous cash advance program to qualified consignors.

Placing Buybacks/Reserves
Placing reserves is actually done by entering them as Maximum Bids, and can be done in several ways. Just remember that all buybacks/reserves are to be placed by the consignor no later than 1 hour prior to auction start time.
Enter multiple reserves by lot number and amount
Reserves can be entered in rapid succession by using our Mass Maximum Bid Entry feature. Simply enter the auction number at the top of the page, and then enter up to 30 lot/amount pairs in the provided spaces.
Enter reserves via your Tracking list
Reserves can be entered by first placing your consigned lots into your Tracking list, which can be done individually, or quickly facilitated in bulk through our Add Lots to Track page. Once your consigned lots are in your Tracking list, you can bid on them via the Track and Bid page.
Selling Raw Coins

A special arrangement between Teletrade and the grading services enables you to certify and auction your raw coins/currency in one easy step, in less time, and at lower cost than ever before.
