<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MadMartigan, post: 2101163, member: 58925&quot;]I always see people hammering pawn stars when talking about selling their coins like that doesn&#039;t make you a legitimate collector or seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>You got to understand if you have a coin nice enough that they will televise it they are not going to be able to beat you too much over the price and are going to have to be a lot more fair then if you walked in with a $100 coin (I bet they would rip you off trying to sell a $100 coin and they aren&#039;t going to televise that).&nbsp; I saw an episode where a lady brought in some Faberge eggs and he offered her like 10 times what she had asked for (and she still had the gall to try to haggle after the fact).&nbsp; If you got a 20k coin you really are limited on where and how you can sell it.&nbsp; Ebay is a bad option for a lot of high end coins that leaves you with auction houses like Heritage that take a huge chunk of your selling price.&nbsp; Sure Gold and Silver pawn is likely at best only to give you %75 of retail but your not going to do much better with Heritage after there fees.&nbsp; Plus a lot of consumer walk in with inherited items not knowing what they have.&nbsp; If its valuable enough your going to get a free appraisal of the item and can always say no and try and sell it on your own.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said there is no sure fire coin to purchase that will guarantee you a huge profit in x amount of years.&nbsp; If your going to collect coins collect them as a hobby with the added bonus of them being an investment.&nbsp; Do not buy them as an investment you will not be happy in the long run that way.&nbsp; There is vastly better ways you can invest your money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
