Scuba-detector, since you and I are such good friends, I'll offer you $20 right now for that puppy. Since it's clearly "$10" on the face, then you've obviously immediately doubled-your-money with $20, eh ? And for today: Friends and family discount: I'll throw in shipping with an SASE sent to you.
It's the least I can do for a fellow who has contributed so much to forum board discussions
Like YOU need any more gold coins

What??? You never heard of the Coin Control Act of 1968? The one that requires a license to transfer coins?
Neither have I.

I took the 1893CC eagle I found to a few dealers. One said it wasn't a coin anymore and worth scrap gold. One offered me less than scrap gold for it. They only made 14 thousand of the critters and it was the last year Carson City made gold coins. I laughed at all three.
To be fair they have to make money. But they will take you for as much as they can to make the most on their investment. I think you were smart in walking away.
Wow just wow!

NO!
ime, coin dealers, even the best ones will rape the seller. Theres plenty of folks around that would happily buy your silver and gold coins at bullion spot. Consider that your floor price to sell at. ebay is the easiest as people there pay stupid prices. after that sell to friends for bullion spot prices. flea markets are next best in my mind.
If you do indeed have numismatic valued coins, then its gonna be a bit harder. Go to a coin show and show them to several dealers. They will know you are shopping and will be more apt to offer you a fair price. Personally, I'd put back any with numismatic value for your heirs. They will go up in price over the long haul.
If you were near me, I'd offer spot bullion price on all silver and find you the same deal on the gold. Theres got to be people around where you live that would pay the same.
Take your time; do it right. You only get one chance to sell them.

Those dollars are gorgeous. Wish I had a bunch of money kicking around, I'd be glad to buy that stuff off you. Unfortunately, all I have is debt.

Assuming the peace Dollars were common dates, as most are, the $16 per coin offer was in the ball park. The 1890 CC offer of $40 was a shade low but not a total ripoff. The 1885 CC offer of $40 was a total ripoff.
