<p>[QUOTE="tradernick, post: 2142959, member: 648"]The pcgs price guide is a waste of time and pixels.

Unless you're in the IT industry I'd advise against that. I'd advise against ebay too, for bullion coins. After they take their fee the money you get paid is far less than a coin shop would pay for the coins, plus having them stolen outright by the postal service or a crooked buyer is a real concern.</p><p>When I advised you to visit shops, I meant coin shops. Try to avoid gold buyers and pawn shops. </p><p>Selling coins doesn't have to be as hard as you think. If you have hundreds of silver eagles, chances are they're all worth the same. So don't feel obligated to try and sell each one individually. I bought 240 silver eagles this morning and it took about 30 seconds.</p><p>I'm guessing your $6k set is the 1995 10th anniversary Eagle set...4 gold coins and 1 silver eagle. Came from the mint in a red box with felt inner box and coa. If that is indeed the set you have, check the silver eagle for hazing....those are notorious for having acquired haze over the years. Just to give you a baseline of value, I just bought one a couple weeks ago for $4800 and sold it for $5100 in perfect condition. A set with haze would be less.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
