Where should I sell coins in the Boston area?

frozenmouse · May 11, 2009 5:49AM

Not a collector here. Just a guy who has inherited a small group of modern commeratives and gold bullion coins (all proof). I would appreciate advice on where I could sell these in the Boston area for a fair price. I don't feel comfortable sending them in the mail to anyone, so I'm looking for someone in my area. Many thanks.

WinPitcher · May 11, 2009 6:01AM

How does he get them to the buyer if he does not want to mail them?

Edited out my reply to WinPitcher. I misunderstood his comment.

I'm in the Boston area. I might be able to help. Where abouts are you? Also turn on your private message feature. Good Luck

Teaparty doesn't do moderns or bullion coins.

Whatcha got? Perhaps consult some of the well-respected folks on here and post them on the BST at reasonable prices. You'd probably do better than a dealer if it's all moderns.

Lexington coin, known far and wide as one of the most honest dealers around. Rick is the owner
and is very fair. check all the others, but do not miss out on him JMHO

Don't clean them, make a list and call first so whomever you wish(one or more) to deal with can give you attention that you deserve. Remember, unless you hit a homerun with these coins-most dealers are a little(or a lot) soft on so-so coins and a lot of dealers might sense your once in a lifetime trip to their shop and treat you accordingly.

Personally, in your shoes-I would casually go into a shop first as a buyer and see how you were treated and whether the shop sold the type of caliber that you want to sell.

That's a huge amount of what they do at their shop. I was there last week... very friendly.

DIMEMAN · May 12, 2009 7:29AM

I guess all dealers will buy and sell bullion at spot, but I know Teaparty does not do moderns.

An appliance repair store should be the best place.

MrObvious · May 12, 2009 9:54AM

Not to be the voice of dissent here, but I sold coins to JJTeaparty once. I will never, never, never do it again. If you "give them a look" I'd get at least one other appraisal/offer.

Whatafind · May 12, 2009 9:56AM

right now i would say DLRC. Thats where i would go.

frozenmouse · May 12, 2009 9:59AM

Thanks, everyone, for all the advice, which I very much appreciate. I ended up going to Lexington Coin and was pleased with the fair price, which was the best of the Boston area options I looked into.

Where should I sell coins in the Boston area?
