Here are two things that you should never say - or be in a position to say - to a coin dealer when you are trying to sell them coins. There are a lot of dealers that are trying to just get by and be honest with their businesses (and even do well), so it is important to respect them and respect the fact that they need to make money. However, it is also important to be informed and not put yourself in a position to get ripped off... if you know literally nothing about your coins, you are likely to have a bad outcome. Watch and let me know if you agree with my two tips.

So frustrating dealing with most coin dealers. Years ago, one guy immediately pointed out my 1928 Philadelphia Peace dollar amongst five other coins and said "hold onto this one, it's a good date". He offered me $250. and even showed me his markup. Two more dealers looked at it and slid it aside with the other common dates and offered me $25. a piece. Even with a beautiful cased 1883 CC Morgan w/box, I had a guy say "these are everywhere", and offered me $75. I called the guy out and he admitted the coins were worth much more and had no excuse for lowballing me. There should be somewhere to report unscrupulous dealers that belong to the Numismatic Assoc.

Dude, we have enough laws on the books that are not getting enforced. We don't need a law for everything. How about they make a law that we the people can't walk into a coin shop unless we have a certificate saying we took a coin collecting class for 3 months? See what I'm getting at? Where in your dispute with those coin dealers do you think that YOU have a personal responsibility in understanding the very materials that YOU are bringing into a coin shop? You are responsible for your own personal education. Rule #1 in everything and all situations .... if you don't educate yourself on your situation, sooner or later someone will take advantage of you. To avoid getting taken advantage of, .... LEARN YOUR BUSINESS before talking to someone about giving you MONEY for what you own. ...

@@UnderWorldOfDarkness I didn't say anything about a law. This is not about the public educating themselves. This is about a reputable organization not policing their members, which reduces their credibility. The ANA is a voluntary organization that requires members to sign a code of ethics. What good is that if they have no system for evaluating and monitoring the members? All I'm suggesting is for them to have a system for investigating and monitoring their members who use their status as a member to enhance their business. How does that not make sense?

Alot dishonest people in general. One day our AC went out. Simple fix but I didn't kno it at the time. I'm no Heating and Cooling guy so I wouldn't kno if it was a simple fix or not. First 2 companies I called told me "your unit is not repairable, you'll have to buy a brand new unit". Both said the same crap trying to get me to spend 10k. Btw, had to pay 100$ per service call just to be lied to. The 3rd company said "An animal or something chewed threw a wire". Literally a 20$ fix. About 100 all together including the service call. Glad I called around before I got a loan for 10K$ I never needed thanks to some jerks that belong in Hell. Make sure to talk to multiple experts besides 1 guy behind the counter buying your metals. To him, your clueless, that means your an easy way to make money. He wants something rare? "Il sell him this 20$ coin and say it's worth 120$". That happens EVERYDAY! Please check your metal/product before letting someone take advantage. When 1 person gets fked over, that effects everyone who shops at said store. Not good for business.

I think you did a great job at nicely letting folks know what they're in for. I've been a coin collector for 50+ years. And, I probably would have been a little more straightforward. The challenge with coin dealers is that they are much closer a flea market / garage sale business model than they are to a normal retail store model. So, you're dealing with honest dealers who are looking to score on a good "flea market" type find, which will include even ethical dealers. Plus, you're dealing with dishonest dealers who will do and say anything they can to lowball you. And, oftentimes, the person selling the coin is not a collector and not familiar with what they have. So, there are a number of factors going against you. I think the key is 1) get to know the other person, check reviews, and establish a personal relationship. This will allow you to weed out those in the latter category. Then, 2) educate yourself by doing some research and talking with multiple experts, especially those that you do not plan to sell to. You covered all of these very well in your video. Thank you.

Nowadays, with the internet, most people have no excuse for not finding the rough value of coins. People that I work with, have asked me about lots of coins. I will research them as best I can, however, I recommend a coin dealer that I have known for years and all of them have come back to me and thanked me for helping them. As I said earlier, it doesn't take a genius to get at least, some basic details about their coin/ coins. There you go, I've had my say.

The Market Value is what the seller sells for, that means the Store has to make enough to Profit, pay the rent, pay the utilities, pay the security, pay the employee and TAXES all around. There may even be a "kickback" to government employees (Donations to Elections, feed the inspectors kids, etc.)

Never tell a dealer that you want to sell your coins to a friend but just want to know what they are worth. I always tell them then it's no longer a buy offer but an appraisal. $50 an hour .However , if you sell the coins or some to the dealer he may help you out ,but he's not there to help your friend and you do a private deal.

FYI Collectors creed; Value is realized by what the owner is willing to part with the item, and what the buyer is willing and able to pay. Possession is worth 9/10th; Anything is not worth as much when you “want” or “need” to sell it. When you want to buy anything it’s value rises depending on how bad you want it, or how bad others want it.

@@TreasureTownCoins My local coin dealers here in Tucson, AZ mostly deal with gold coins from around the world worth 10's of thousands of dollars. They don't want to deal with pennies unless they're Wheat Penny varieties. And they go strictly by the coin error books. If it's not a listed variety, they don't want your coin, even if it's clear you have found a new variety that hasn't been discovered yet. If I have a 1940 wheat penny with no errors on it, but it's in great shape, they will only offer me between .03 cents and .07 cents. Which means I would be losing money because it would cost me $2.00 in gas to get to the coin shop. They say no one buys those kinds of pennies. If that's true, then I can see their side of it. Which makes me think, if I don't have a $10,000 coin, it's not worth my time to even try to sell it. As for me, I'm not looking to become filthy rich. I have some coins that I'm willing to let go of for .10 cents on the dollar, to make a fast sale for health food store supplements. Not only are my local coin dealers not interested .... they're rude and snarky about it. That's the worst part. Getting talked down to from these coin dealers like they think their some upper class elites and I'm just some unwashed peasant who deserves to be treated like a snot rag because I'm not walking into their store with a $23,000 solid gold coin from Egypt or something. ..

I've been VERY fortunate with my local coin shop.. Here in west Texas, there are not very many coin dealers. The one legitimate coin shop within a 150-mile radius is a well-known, well-respected member of the community. My biggest takeaway from getting to know him is that you can't put a price on honesty. He started with 1 shop in '82. He now owns several shops all over west Texas and has a thriving business. That's what happens when you play it straight and are more than fair (almost to a fault)

There is no coin shops near me and I friends aunt wanted to sell a relatives coin collection and asked if I would be interest. Well I am VERY interested but told them that I'm still new and don't know the value of a lot of coins because of the grades and also I don't know rarer years off hand. So I recommend to them, to wait a month and take it to the coin show so they can have multiple dealer look at it at one place.

If you are a coin collector or if you invest in physical precious metals, please makes sure you leave notes about wich coins you have and how to determine their value. If your family knows about the value of your stack / collection or they know about your notes and where to find them, they are way less likely to sell the coins way below their actual value if you pass away or if you should be involved in a accident/ long term illness wich leaves you unable to sell your assetts / deal with your affairs on your own in a situation of need.

30% cut means many will always lose money on coins. Ebay fees are quite high. After watching this makes you want to never buy rare coins at all unless you can get significantly below list. On top of this Ebay charges tax on everything which is unfair. Silver and gold should not be taxed. In Russia they do not tax gold and silver because they know gold and silver is money. Plain bullion is a better bet, less expense and can move faster. You give some realistic good advise though.

Interesting . I bought a coin collection in the 1970's. It's been sitting for some fifty years in my safe. I think I know what I have just by seeing what others have sold for. I've list each . About 200 are 1921-1935. The total 400 Morgans pretty much every year . I need to pay to have about 140 graded. I bought them very fine . In Phoenix not really looking to sell just get all graded.

If you’re not keen on getting ripped off selling your dad’s collection, why not just keep it? You’ll have something to remember him by, and over time, you just might pick up a new hobby!

Perhaps their father abused their them, so their children don't want anything to remind them of him. Perhaps they want to get rid of the bad memories, but at the same time, want to make sure when they sell it off, they get the right price. ... being afraid of getting ripped off is remedied by educating yourself, which is the point of these videos. ..

I do it different, if i buy from a dealer i tell him i have to pay costs like Ebay 10% and then I negotiate about the price if he doesnt ask a price 20-30% under the value, I buy nothing. If there is a bullmarket i do it different but nowadays, i pay less and if i want to sell i still can make a profit, there is always a dealer who needs cash.

Like an idiot I sold my parents collection of 300+ Morgan's when I was younger to a coin shop in town and he was buying them at 30 - 60 a coin with 2 coins he paid 2500 for at the time..I highly regret it to this day.... Now that I'm into coin collecting I know he was just paying me spot and more than likely low balled me on those 2 coins. But then again they have a business to run. That's why I don't really like watching videos on Morgan's because it reminds me of the terrible mistakes I've made in my past. That doesn't mean avoid coin dealers just do your research before you go in and be fair, they'll do the same.

Look around when you want to sell your coins. I had some very nice red brown Lincoln cents late 20's early 30's. One dealer looked at them I'll give you 20 dollars for them. I said,' I'll keep them. Another dealer said, I'll give you 83.00 dollars for them, 9 coins total I figured I may have lost 15.00 on them but way better than the first guy.

I only deal with PCGS. I have never heard of any issues with them. If you deal with major grading services you shouldn’t have any problems. If you are worried about it take good quality pictures of it. They make magnified camera adapters that fit your cell phone. Most all coins have some distinctive marks on them.
