<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joshua Lemons, post: 26036492, member: 82388&quot;]I always like to find sold listings of comparable coins, eBay being the easiest. In fact, I think you can filter results on eBay down to grade and click on sold listings.&nbsp;&nbsp; On the PCGS and NGC sites, if you have graded coins, you can enter the cert number and they might have a list of previous sales of that particular coin.&nbsp; Their price guides on the other hand are not reliable in my opinion. </p><p>Rarer certified coins usually have previous auction results at one of the bigger auction houses.&nbsp; I simply type in the denomination, date, grade, etc. in the Google search bar.&nbsp; This is very handy for world coins, but maybe not for US. Expect a deep cut in value for details coins and those with ugly or terminal toning.</p><p>Keep records of what you pay for coins.&nbsp; It&#039;ll help you know if you are overpaying when it comes time to sell. </p><p>Generally, if I am selling coins at a show, I go in with a good idea of what I want to get out of them.&nbsp; I don&#039;t sell a ton, but often take a few pieces to haggle with in trade.&nbsp; At auction, you are at the mercy of bidders.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen/won several coins at auction for way below recent sales because I was the only bidder.&nbsp; The biggest question is deciding where/how to sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
