<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1850560, member: 22004&quot;]Most of us here have either personal experience or second hand knowledge of how others have done when selling, in most cases the auction premiums will eat up more than necessary, it may be better to call around for offers with good images in hand so the top buyers can make offers if you have rare certified coins.&nbsp; The advantage with GC is the quick turn around from shipping to getting a check, but I see a lot of material just getting recycled by them searching for the buyer at those price levels, same thing on ebay, which Ian no doubt knows what works there as they do 50X the volume he does in coins, with the raw option which no numismatic auction company permits.</p><p><br /></p><p>On buying there GSAs are relatively easy to figure value on based on auction records, it is rare you will see gem quality in GSA holders and below gem in the usual common dates trade in a pretty tight range.&nbsp; Unless of course you have a better date like the 91cc in a GSA holder, I know a dealer who bought two of those at GS pricing and then was shocked when they both fetched over two grand.&nbsp; So you must do your research about what stuff is worth.&nbsp; Even HA with their long waits from shipping to them to getting a check may not be a winner, especially with small and esoteric coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
