Who is the best dealer/company to sell coins to?

Halfhunter06

You have have top notch PQ coins who is the best to sell your collection to?

probably depends on what you're selling... US Coins I assume, but might be a different "best" dealer if you're selling indian cents vs. morgan dollars.

There is no one best dealer/company for that.

Among other considerations, it depends upon the type and quality of coins, what their current wants and inventory are, etc. Often, if you bought the coins from the right dealers, they will pay strong/fair prices to buy them back.

Mark forgot to mention that he is good one. At least he made me a good offer on my Bust quarter.

The one(s) who offer(s) you the most for your coins!

Agree, and frequently it's another collector. Try the BST before getting a dealer's low ball offer.

There's nothing wrong with trying the BST. But please don't give the impression that "low ball" offers are exclusive to dealers.

And if the coins are truly PQ, in order to get full value for them, they will need to be sold on a sight-seen basis.

We've bought our fair share of coins on the BST, too.

Man, I hate to say this but I've sold coins much easier to dealers (the right dealers) than "collectors" on the BST. The one part I don't like if the dealer is only looking to see if they have a home for it and shop it around first, before committing. This can hold a person up on a sale. But I've had many BST deals as well. When the low ball offers come from our astute members of the board I just ignore them.

I've had dealers give me some very reasonable offers on the BST. SeaEagleCoins is one of them.

To clarify things a bit, I was thinking about the local B&M coin shop who typically don't make generous offers for coins they buy over the counter. Naturally, there a exceptions to every generalization.

Part of figuring out this whole coin thing is knowing what to sell to who.

Mark is right, the most outlandish offers I have ever gotten on a coin for sale is from "collectors" on the BST. I remember offers for $200 for PCGS 1915 Proof Barber half in PF62 and $150 for AU NGC graded 1909s indian. I am ok for letting them go for wholesale but that was a bit much and I have never had a dealer come close to that level of crazy.

As has been stated, it really depends on what is being sold.

Most dealers have their area of expertise and typically offer a little more because they already know where/who they can move it to.

Locally, I take all my scrap 90% and common date dollars to Silvertowne, while the better date stuff goes to collectors or Briggs (especially better Seated stuff).

The "best" dealer might be different depending upon what the coin is that is for sale.

Similar to the car business, worst lowball offers I have ever seen have always come from private individuals...

Like has been said before, it depends.

I wouldn't go to Larry (SeaEagleCoins) with colonial copper, he'd look at me all funny (more so than normal)... I wouldn't offer Laura my mid grade Barbers, and Doug Winter is the last place I'd try and sell my 90%.

What Tom Said. In some cases the best dealer is the Heritage auction. Please visit my site to see how you can get more than hammer.

Thanks Guys

The one who offers you the most money.





Ha. I crack me up. (Sorry- couldn't resist.)

Edit- eh, phooey. I should've known several people would beat me to the punchline on that one.

I agree.

This is actually good advice---frequently you have to show a coin to several dealers to get your best offer.

I've had great offers/deals with James Sego (SEGOJA) here on the boards, MANY people have. He's bought singles to gold sets and has provided FAST payment, great communication, etc In addition, you can also use the PCGS advertising that you see when you look at your set. It lists coins that will fill your spot for that coin. You place a set price on the coin. Another idea is to contact the collectors on the Registry Sets. If you have coins thay need, especially the higher ones for those sets, you will get REALLY great offers for your coins. If all that doesn't work, I'd go to Heritage. Teletrade costs WAY too much for sales, as does Flea-bay. BST boards are way better than both of those. Mitch at Wondercoin has in the past, offered good money for nice sets, but I haven't dealt with him lately. He's offered god money for singles lately, but, I don't know how he is on singles/sets right now. I know a lot of people hahve dealt with him.

Points that appear to have been ignored so far are that it really depends on how much you value your time, how much work you want to do, and your risk tolerance. I don't sell often, but when I do, I usually first get an offer from the company from which I purchased the coin. Then, if I don't like the offer, I'll wait until the next show comes to town and go to a few dealers who I know 1) Are aggressive buyers 2) Are able to pay (their check is good), 3) Are personable. To me, this includes (NFC, Jason Carter, Ryan Carrol @ Heritage, Rick Raaf @ Scotsman, Fred Colombo, and John Schuch). Just my opinion.

If they are worthy of a CAC sticker John Albanese pays great prices for great coins. I had sold him quite a few over the years and I am not an easy seller.
