How to sell coins?
When it comes to selling coins, it is important to know exactly what you are offering. The process of assessing a collection may seem complicated, but if you break it down into stages, it becomes manageable.
1. Analyze Your Collection
Study each coin in detail: denomination, year, mintage, metal, and condition. Excellent condition means higher value.
2. Study Market Value
Look through catalogs and online offers. Remember market volatility and regional price differences.
3. Assess Uniqueness
Limited editions, errors, and historical events make coins especially valuable to collectors.
4. Storage & Presentation
Store in conditions that prevent wear. Special albums and holders are desirable for better valuation.
Appraising your coin collection
Coins, like many other collectibles, have a value determined by rarity and condition.
-
Rarity: Fewer copies available mean higher value. Information can be found in databases.
-
Condition: Critical element. Collectors use the Sheldon scale (01-70). Resources like PCGS Photograde help determine condition.
-
Record Keeping: Record expected prices. If offers differ greatly, ask experts for reasons (underestimation of rarity/condition).
Value of coins
Numismatic vs. Metal Value
Prior to 1965, most US coins contained 90% silver or gold. Their value depends on metal prices ("melt value") plus numismatic value based on rarity/condition.
Avoid Pawn Shops
Avoid "We Buy Gold" signs or pawn shops that value based only on metal content. They often offer face value or melt value, ignoring collectible worth. Turn to private collectors or specialty shops like us.
