Where can I sell rare coins?

Alex, reDollar expert answered

Where can I sell rare coins? This question brought headache to many people owning coins and having selling plans. There are always doubts of getting paid proper for the coins you own and those doubts are justified because so many buyers pay too less money for rare coins. But what are your options if you either don’t know how much your rare coins are worth or you don’t have a reliable buyer-recommendation?

Sell with an auction house

Auctioning can be an option to sell your rare coins because you reach lots of people and buyers. But there is a big drawback about auctions. THE FEES. Some auction houses charge you up to 35% in fees while other even charge you for marketing and photo costs. Moreover it can take a very long time until you receive the proceeds. Nevertheless, auctioning rare coins is better than selling to a pawn shop what we believe is the worst selling option.

Pros: you reach different buyers
Cons: high selling fess, wait up to 6 months to get paid

More about rare coins

Rare coins need special attention in contrast to bullion coins or circulated coins. A rare coin is very sensitive to handling and especially to testing practices. In the United States, acid testing is the number 1 performed way to test a coin’s authenticity. An acid test is also the cheapest way for  buyer but if performed, this way of testing can leave visible signs at your coins surface and this is what you don’t want. A tiny damage can have a significant impact on the coin’s value.

reDollar.com employs coin specialists with tremendous knowledge and provides high-tech equipment for testing rare coins. With our XRF machine, determining a coins purity and compound is just one mouse-click and a 60 second testing-time. We also use a density measuring system to reveal counterfeited coins.
