For the most part, I'd be willing to bet that the coin would sell on Heritage for more than you could get yourself. Same thing if you go and sell it to a dealer.

In the end, I don't think selling coins on Heritage or other big-name sites ends up being too bad of a deal for the average collector wanting to sell a few coins.
