Best Coin store to sell coins in NYC/Long Island??

Where is the best place to sell my raw morgan dollars that are in Mint state in the New York Metro/ Long Island area? I also have some Mexican Libertads as well.........

Eastern Numismatics in Garden City was the best (in my opinion) around 5 years ago............is this still the case?

I certainly appreciate anyones time to answer my question. I am absolutely disgusted I have to sell right now knowing that silver is only going to go up but I need the money to pay off my credit card bills.....................

Thanks once again!!!!!!!!

    Why not try selling them here or on eBay? You'll probably get more $.

    First, you should turn on your PM function from your profile so that people can contact you.

    In Manhattan you can check the ShowPlace Antiques, on 25th Street between 5th and 6th. There are two dealer's booth that have some silver.
    Or at Brigandi's on 44th between 5th and 6th.

    Or go to the Parsippany, NJ coin show held the first Sunday each month. Unless you have only bullion, you'll do better there than a coin shop in my opinion.
    All coins kept in bank vaults.

    My PM function has been turned on Thanks for pointing that out................

    I also appreciate everyone elses input on dealers in the area.

    Not being the sharpest knife in the kitchen drawer it would seem to me that the more volume a coin store moves the more inclined they are to pay slightly higher than a store that doesnt have any action. In the past, everytime I went to Eastern Numismatics there was always someone selling or buying, they always paid the most as well................

    Stores change and so does management..............hopefully Eastern has not changed in the last few years. At any rate this is my last post for this thread so once again thanks for all the input. image

    I haven't been in the shop in many many years since I relocated off the Island. I always had a great relationship with the whole crew, but Mel in particular. People talk about dealers never giving anyone a fair shake, well these guys were always straight shooters as long as you were straight with them.
    Mel could look at a coin for 5 seconds and then go on for 3 minutes telling you about the coin.
    Good memories.
