<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1394656, member: 13650&quot;]I don&#039;t blame you.&nbsp; They&#039;ll take a 12% cut.&nbsp; &nbsp; Selling coins involves some difficult decisions.&nbsp; Ideally, you want to sell to collectors.&nbsp; But it&#039;s difficult to reach them without using an online auction service with high fees involved.&nbsp;&nbsp; Dealers try to buy EVERYTHING at melt value these days, unless it&#039;s something very special.&nbsp;&nbsp; Although, they tend to sell some nice pieces right around melt too so it works well for buyers.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; If I was going to sell part of my collection I might try to find somebody to share a table with at a coin show and set up shop.&nbsp; &nbsp; I might wait for a larger show to come to the area if I were you.&nbsp; Go around to all the tables and see what you can get.&nbsp; No better way to do it if you&#039;re going to sell to a dealer.&nbsp;&nbsp; Other than setting up your own table.&nbsp;&nbsp; Be prepared for them to talk the collection down though.&nbsp; And you will probably hear &quot; I have 200 of these back at the shop&quot; several times.&nbsp; (I have over heard deals going on at shows where people were trying to sell commemoratives and that&#039;s how the conversation goes.)</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Numismatic premiums on stuff like this were higher (relative to metal value) before the precious metals market took off a few years ago.&nbsp; It has made everything with silver and gold in it fairly pricey nowadays. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; There were a few exceptions with commemoratives because of lower mintages and high demand.&nbsp; &nbsp; The 2001 Buffalo silver dollar commem has maintained a 130 to $150 price tag.&nbsp;&nbsp; The 1999 George Washington $5 in MS is also up there.&nbsp;&nbsp; The real &#039;hits&#039; only come out once in a while and they can be hard to predict.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
