<p>[QUOTE="DallasCoinsNThings, post: 2938381, member: 91532"]Since I work at a Coin Shop... I can tell you that the 50% is not real. We generally pay probably 60-70% or more on good, numismatically valuable coins. We base what we pay on the Grey Sheet, Not Retail Value. Most all dealers use the Grey Sheet. When you get into the Gold and Silver, we pay around $150-200 less than Melt for an Ounce of Gold as a general rule, unless it is something special. I would definitely say that EBay is a far better way to go, if you don't need the money TODAY. I sell on EBay constantly, and have no problems with the "Risk" of PayPal. As a matter of fact, I've NEVER had an issue with PayPal in my YEARS of selling on EBay. The only thing is, EBay charges you 10% of your sale. Other than that, it works great! For coins with Numismatic Value you can definitely get more there than from a dealer, as you are essentially the Retailer, and not selling to a Retailer. Anyway... that is my two-cents on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
