like the title says, ive been collecting coins for many years now and i have quite a few and i was wondering if any where valuable and if so Where can I sell them, any response will be greatly appreciated thanks
Usacoinbook.com, ebay.com, ha.com (Heritage Auctions), Superior Galleries, craigslist.com, and many more...
Excuse me, but I'm a little bit confused. You've been collecting coins for many years, but you have no idea what they're worth. I'm not trying to make fun of you, but are these coins in Mason jars? Chris
First off, before you sell your coins, you should have an idea of what they're worth. Never blindly try to sell your coins! Get yourself a Red Book and make a list of what you have and the approximate value. Red Book is NOT an accurate price guide, but it will give you a general idea.
cpm9ball: Its quite possible to collect coins and not to know their exact value. It is usually called hoarding though. I have been keeping different countries coins without knowing their value when i started collecting. Didn't even know there are catalogs back then.
Taxi, While I understand your point, it seems that this "collector" knows little or nothing about what he has, and we need more information to be able to advise him properly. Granted, I should have made my intent clearer, but at the same time, the OP should have given us more information. You know yourself that we have many people come here knowing next to nothing and they are looking for advice and expecting us to gaze into our crystal balls to give them answers. Chris
I use this website as a general price reference: http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml I also use this forum, as well as ebay to sell coins.
cpm9ball: Yeah, i just realized the OP is actually asking if his coins are valuable, without even attempting to give any description or details... that's just irrational. thatboie: Yes, some of your coins might be valuable, maybe even all of them are, and maybe none of them. Quality photos would help determining value. The best place at this point to sell them would be eBay.
All of those who are ready to pounce on the OP for not being as in touch with the hobby as you, there is no need to be rude. From what I see this is their first time on CT.Welcome to CT thatboie.
Thanks for the welcomes and I appologize for the way my OP was worded, Ive been collecting coins that look valuable or have a different feel than regular coins ad i was mainly wondering where I could find their value and after looking around here I figured this would be the best place to ask,I Have been doing so for a long time but still know very little about "collecting" coins, I will get some pics to post on here and then if any one wants to comment feel free, I again apologize for my lack of knowledge on coins and collecting, but after trying to research a 1964 "silver" dime I found my way to this site, so please for the time being excuse my inexperiance with this hobby and Ill make a list and post pics asap, Thank you all again, i look forward to posting/poking around this site. Ian W.
My apology, Ian! This sort of thing is a common occurrence with newcomers to the hobby, and I should have been a little less facetious in my opening remark. Chris
That is Quite alright im a very active member on some automotive forums and I see those kind of post all the time, that's why I was so appologetic, Ive read my type of post and have been like "NEWB, Do research first" and so on. no hard feelings
If you have wheat cents your looking to sell. I'm in the market to buy them. Welcome to CT hope you enjoy your stay. And as a muscle car enthusiast I say that my 67 Shelby mustang is the best one out there lol jkjk it's just a roller
Ian, I would first determine what type of coins you have, as in world coins or US coins and then from there pick up a few reference books you can find at most bookstores. This will give you a better understanding as to value so you don't undersell yourself. And, if you don't feel comfortable doing that, you can always post pics of coins here for people to help you with, and even sell coin here on the "open" section. Guy
I have a combo of both US and World, ill post pics and start researching, ive just ben collecting, not really following the hobby.
