If you want to sell a coin or coin collection you have to decide first; are you going to sell them wholesale to someone else who will sell them for a profit? or do you want to sell them to the final collector? Naturally the first is much easier and quicker than the latter but you will be taking a much lower price. There just isnt usually an all inclusive easy answer to the question “how much is my coin worth?”

The best method is to first find out how much that same coin is being sold for by others. It does take a bit of researching and looking up on the net – or you can call around to coin shops. If you see a certain coin is selling for $45 to $70 then you will have a good idea as to its salable value. Wouldnt you be curious to know what that proof set is being sold for right now? Then you can compare that to what the dealer offered you.

Now, next week or so you might look up that coin set and the prices may be quite different.

Also, I keep seeing people asking, but no where do I see the answer. What reliable place can I go to get the true value (rather than digging around on the internet)?
