How to Sell Gold Coins in Tennessee

However, it will pay you to determine ahead of time if the coins you are selling were minted as actual currency or if they were minted merely as a convenient way of packaging and selling gold.In other words, many gold coins have a numismatic value. They are worth more to coin collectors than the value of the actual gold they contain. You need to know if your gold coins are collectible items before you begin any quest to sell your coins.

How to Sell Gold Coins in Tennessee

1
Telephone or visit one or more large coin dealers in your local area to determine if your gold coins have any added value to coin collectors. Many gold coins minted for general circulation in the U.S. and other countries have a much higher value as collectible items than simply the value of their gold content.

Concentrate your efforts toward selling your gold coins to a coin dealer or even to selling them at auction if your coins have a special numismatic value. It is even possible to offer rare gold coins for sale directly to the public through ads in your local paper or on www.craigslist.org. However, never meet a potential buyer at your home. Always arrange to meet at a local coin dealer.

Contact local pawn shops, scrap gold dealers and coin shops locally to compare prices offered for gold coins which have no numismatic value. Ask what each buyer's discount is off the price of spot gold. This will give you a basis for comparing prices.

Compare prices that are being offered by Internet buyers. Enter the words "sell gold" into any Search Engine and then choose three or more potential buyers. Describe your coins and ask what their current price is and if there is any discount off of the price of spot gold so that you can more easily compare prices over the net with local prices.Keep in mind that if you own South African Krugerrands or Canadian Maple Leaf coins you will not have to worry about the discount off of the price of spot gold since you will simply be quoted a price for each coin.

Tips & Warnings
Remember that the price of gold changes from day to day and even from hour to hour so the price you are quoted one day may not be the exact price you will receive at a different time.
Never be pressured into selling your gold coins "right now." While it is true that the price of gold fluctuates, it is not possible for a gold buyer to guarantee that the price of gold is about to drop so you need to sell "right now." In fact, if a gold buyer felt that the price of gold was about to drop that buyer would be crazy to want you to sell "right now" while the price was high.
