[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2658746, member: 59677"]Take your time. Walk around and see who is selling the same type of material. Get a couple offers. Especially if you are looking at less common material. Be aware that if you are selling stuff that is selling slowly, the dealers who already have 'enough' to sell may not be interested in buying from you today. That doesn't mean next show they won't have a major need... Common 'stuff', well - American Silver Eagles (ASEs) are common. They are 1 oz bullion coins (albeit in a couple finishes) and most grade MS69 or PF69 (the scale runs from 1 to 70, theoretically a 70 is a perfect coin). The deal with these is the big dealers buy boxes from the mint, hoping for a decent % of 70s. 70s pay the bills and make the money, 69s are sold off -hopefully- at break even. But the prices are heavily dependent on the current (spot) price of silver. Circulated truly rare coins are less common - there is a market, but it's not always a big, fast moving one. If you post some examples of your inventory, we can give you some ideas...[/QUOTE]
