<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 7548658, member: 105571&quot;]I did the deal this morning.&nbsp; You guys were kind enough to offer your thoughts which helped.&nbsp; There&#039;s no reason why I cannot share the details with you.&nbsp; Just remember that it was important to my and my siblings to not take the risk of shipping coins.&nbsp; And I gained some future &quot;street cred&quot; with my local dealer.&nbsp; BTW, he had no problem swinging a check over $100K.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold spot was $1828 at the time of transaction.</p><p><br /></p><p>1 oz. Maple Leafs - $15 over spot.</p><p>1 oz. Kruggerands - $15 over spot.</p><p>1/2 oz. and 1 oz. US Mint gold medals - 2% under spot (these were headed to the melt pot).</p><p>Ungraded GSA 1884-CC Morgans in original boxes with COAs.&nbsp; Typical baggy MS-62/63 coins (I kept the good ones for myself) - $285.&nbsp; This was a real surprise.&nbsp; These have skyrocketed in price since last August when I had the same dealer appraise them at $195.&nbsp; This month&#039;s Greysheet has them at $245 so the dealer paid a premium for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>So he made some money, I liquidated an estate to my siblings&#039; satisfaction, and didn&#039;t have to deal with the hassle, risk and expense of shipping coins.&nbsp; Probably left a little bit of money on the table compared to the very best I might have been able to do, but it was worth some money to avoid exposing my siblings to risk they don&#039;t understand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
