Selling a coin collection?

Inherited coins or paper money can be worth more than you think. A few simple steps protect you from low offers.

Five tips before you sell

  1. Don't clean anything. Cleaning can cut a coin's value in half or more. Leave coins and notes exactly as they are.
  2. Keep sets and holders together. Original mint packaging, albums and graded holders (PCGS, NGC, PMG) all matter.
  3. Get more than one offer. A coin show puts dozens of dealers in one room. Ask two or three before you decide.
  4. Know the bullion value. Silver and gold coins have a floor price based on metal. Check the day's spot price.
  5. Ask how the offer was made. A good dealer explains which pieces carry the value and why.

Find a coin show near you to get offers in person.
