[QUOTE="majorbigtime, post: 746149, member: 19434"]I learned long ago that it is much easier to buy coins than to sell them. I believe that I need to sell occasionally just to get a "feel" for the market. I dislike dealers who won't quote a buy price, but expect the collector to price the coins. If you price too low, it's sold. If you price too high, it's "pass" or a counter offer. I prefer to work with dealers who give me their price for a straight yes or no, and I believe that has served me well. For hi-dollar or PQ coins, I find auction to be the best way to go but you must cut a deal with the auction house (hammer +) to get good value and wait months to be paid. In most cases, I am happy to get gray sheet. I recently tried to get sheet for some slabbed Morgans, and there were no takers. Today, gold is king and good prices are available for sellers willing to part with their gold.[/QUOTE]
