A coin show is an excellent way. But have some idea of exactly who at the coin show you wish to talk to first.

What I am trying to say is this, many collectors make a common mistake at coin shows when they are trying to sell their coins. They think that need to go to every table there looking for the best price. Well, you won't get the best price that way. What you will get is largely ignored.

You see the dealers at the coin shows depend upon the other dealers for 90% of their business. So when someone starts making the rounds like that, word gets around rather quickly and the dealers will just say not interested.

Your best bet is to talk 2 or 3 dealers and that's about it. Then take the best offer from those. Of course it helps if you know a bit about certain dealer's reputations, and then you talk to just those dealers.
