Selling coin collection

About to sell off some coins for some needed money. Haven’t sold any ever. Does anyone have any good references on places to sell coins too. Coins, proof sets etc. in Louisiana or online. Thanks.

I guess Ebay is too obvious of a way to sell coins, right?

What's in your collection and how much you want for it?

Send me an email at gschel86@gmail.com with what you are selling and asking. If I am not interested I can direct you.

It sorta depends on what you have … is it a few numismatics, a curated collection, a mixture of constitutional silver with other?
For example, … an extensive collection of colonial coins, or mis-strikes, or shipwreck silver/gold, etc
I’ve used Heritage on several occasions … they’ve got a division that focuses on private collections and rare/ancient coins and they have periodic auctions …. You can read more about them here:
https://www.ha.com
Sure, they take their percentage, but they reach a wide swath of Buyers ….. which means you usually get a reasonable sell price.
If you are only looking to sell only a few pieces, I would recommend some of the online dealers that publish their buy-back rates online. Provident Metals in Dallas is one I’ve used, APMEX is good too.
They may not have a published rate for your particular coin, but the fact that they publish rates online at all is reputable.
If you have one of the big coin shows being held near where you live, like the annual Money Show, you can meet with the Buyers from the big online houses …. they are usually knowledgeable and a good future contact to have.

Good luck, and good fortunes ….

I sold 50, 25 2.5 and 5 dollar gold pieces, Carson City silver dollars, proof sets all kinds of things my folks had. You have to find someone willing to pay for it to have value, if it was used in jewelry or not in perfect shape it will likely be melt prices. We used a guy in Lafayette, felt like a fair deal. Think the name was Bryant Gemstones. We ended up with about 25k from the sale.

Surely there is a coin club and some numismatists in your area. Google for any up coming coin shows in your area. Numismatist are obsessed with old coins. Some places just care about the silver or gold content value.

Agora Auctions does a great job. I’ve bought coins from them many times. I’ve never sold, so I’m not sure what that side of the operation is like, but I’ve had zero issues buying off their auction app.
In fact I look forward to them.
