How to sell mid grade double eagles?

Thanks for all the replies.

Another aspect of my situation is my location which is relatively rural. I have one gold buyer/dealer and one coin dealer within a hour drive. I really don't like the coin dealer because his prices out of line and his security dogs maul you when you enter the store.

I like the coin show idea but again I'll have to do some serious driving to get to one.

As to what I have (I was mistaken about the grading company. They are both PCGS)

One of my neighbors wanted to sell some one ounce American Gold Eagles. I found a local dealer who would pay 100% of melt. I don’t think you could do better than that. Getting that for lower grade $20 gold pieces seems like the best one can do, given the (insanely, my opinion) high gold prices.

 

It seems like the green label holder might be worth a little premium. It also seems like it's worth driving a couple hours for $6500 worth.

 

I've felt good what I sold to APMEX. Quick payment and no hassle. Much better than using ebay and paying the fees - although they always seem to sell quickly there. I've mostly sold certified bullion, like buffaloes or common date $20's

 

any foto(s) of the gold coin(s) ?

 

Thats what my dealer does. And I could get the money quick. With heritage it would takes months with no guarantee of the price. I would never sell to a we buy gold place - or even a pawn shop. So driving to another dealer or a coin show sounds like a better plan. And you can always call them first to see what they would do.

 

Also a lot more certainty with a place like APMEX. No worries about fraudulent or grumpy buyers.
