hi everyone my name is Abe i have a few 1oz gold coins. one is fyngoud 1oz fine gold 1978 i think its mint and another one fyngoud 1oz fine gold 1982 mint what are these worth and how should i sell it?
I would go with a big outfit like APMEX or Provident. It's likely that you'll receive more money from them than from any local dealer. It's possible that you could get more by selling directly to a collector, but that opens you to the risk of fraud or violence. I'm not affiliated with any dealer, but here are links for selling to Provident and APMEX: http://www.providentmetals.com/sell-to-us.html http://www.apmex.com/selltous Note that Provident has a minimum amount of $1000, which you would meet with no problem. APMEX says their quoted prices are for $10000 or more; if you offer them a lot with a total value lower than that, their rate per coin may be lower.
you can go to www.coinflation.com to look at metal pricings (you will rarely get that much for your coins but it's a good starting point)
Yes, it is a good starting point. For what it's worth, Provident appears to be offering buy prices above spot for a variety of gold and silver coins, including Krugerrands.
