<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1959686, member: 26302"]All dealers need to make a profit. Many times they will buy everything from you, to save you the hassle, then just turn around and wholesale it out to others who specialize in that area. If you want to sell to a dealer, usually the best price is selling to a dealer who specializes in those items. He is usually in the best position to offer you a little more. However, a dealer will always need to eat.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, "low mintage coins" is always a VERY relative term. I have coins that maybe 10 exist, but that is ok since only maybe 5 of us collect them. Otoh a coin which millions collect, a half million mintage could be termed small. Never, ever, ever collect a coin because of "small mintage". Its the biggest error of newbies in the world coin arena, taking their US coin mintages and applying it to world coins. The demand is simply miniscule in world coins versus US demand, so saying, "its rare because only 5000 were minted" is simply not true. If only 500 are wanted, then 5000 is a very high mintage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

If you want to sell to a dealer, usually the best price is selling to a dealer who specializes in those items. He is usually in the best position to offer you a little more. However, a dealer will always need to eat. Btw, "low mintage coins" is always a VERY relative term. I have coins that maybe 10 exist, but that is ok since only maybe 5 of us collect them. Otoh a coin which millions collect, a half million mintage could be termed small. Never, ever, ever collect a coin because of "small mintage".
