I have a 1927 gold double eagle, an 1897 and 1879 morgan dollars (gold) and several other coins of various years and denominations. I have looked on the web and found the double eagle to be very valuable. What is the best method of selling these coins for a fair market value? Thanks for your help.

Try the "open" section below to sell them.   07-16-2009, 06:40 PM   #3 (permalink) Mark Feld Rare coin dealer     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: San Diego Posts: 1,744 Quote: Originally Posted by h8hd Hello, I was lucky enough to find several old coins when cleaning out old stuff I moved after my grandmother passed away.

If you could post images of both sides of the coins, we might be able to give you a ballpark figure as to their value. Morgan dollars are struck in silver, not gold, but don't clean them.   07-16-2009, 06:44 PM   #4 (permalink) De Orc P & R COMMISSAR     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: London.
