[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2161491, member: 59677"]The problem is that while they're worth more than bullion, they're not terribly desirable, they're not terribly rare and they're not terribly in demand. The high end coin dealers that you're naming have absolutely no interest in them because they have absolutely no buyers for them. The gold & jewelry sellers on 47th Street have no interest in them because they're worth more than melt so they have no buyers for them. Somewhere at that coin show or the next one is the same kind of dealer that you originally bought them from - somebody who sells what arr essentially low value - but better than bullion - gold coins for people to collect. Unfortunately that dealer isn't going to offer you a large percentage of the 'value' of the coin because it may take awhile to sell and he or she has to tie up cash in holding inventory. And finally most of the dealers at that coin show are going to fall into one of the other two categories: their either selling high-end collectible (expensive) coins or they're essentially bullion dealers selling coins and bars for a little more than melt and buying coins for a little less.[/QUOTE]
