Any good sources for coin selling guides?
I have a bunch of older US coins(and one canadian set) that I’m looking to sell. Does anyone know of any websites, books, or any other sources that give good descriptions of the value of coins? Here’s a compressed list of what I’m trying to sell:
1981 to 1998 Proof/Prestige/Premier sets
1987 Royal Canadian Proof Set
Kennedy Half Dollars from 1964 to 1985
Silver Dollars 2000, 2001
Quarters 1976
Pennies 1863 to 1986
Any help would be appreciated.
To get an accurate value of the coins you wish to sell, you must know what grades, (for the pennies), they are. An 1863 penny can be worth $5 to $5000 depending on the grade. After that is done, you can check out books from the library, (you can check out the “Redbook” by Yeoman, it is the most important price guide), or simply go to a coin show and see what the asking prices are. If you do not want to go to this work, simply get bids from a few coin dealers as to what they will pay you for them. One caveat about price guides. They are never up to date completely, especially when it comes to bullion items, and they are retail prices, so expect for a dealer to offer you less.
Another good alternative is to sell them on Ebay. Yes, sometimes coins go too cheap, but most times they sell for what they are worth, and sometimes for more.
