Looking at Numismatic News a weekly coin magazine certified St. G's are going for $ 965.95 with a few mint state-64 coins going for around $ 1.200 or so. Not all gold coins are scarce or rare and even some St. G's sell for close to bullion prices and they are much older and should go up in value as time goes by. To me all bullion coins do is make the mints and dealers richer unless you are in it for the long term say 25-50 years. Good luck but I would learn more before spending your hard earned cash.

You could go to a local coin dealer but remember he will probably quote you a wholesale price. If there is a local coin club some of the members might help you get a reasonable retail value and might even offer to buy the coins from you. Another option would be to go to a local bookstore and see if they carry a magazine called "Coinvalues" it is published monthly and is often referenced in the hobby. As far as the foreign stuff goes a coin dealer or collector is probably your best bet. It sounds like you have some interesting items.

Zoxx Mon, 02 Jan 2012 20:19:03 +0000 http://highreliefcoin.com/how-quickly-can-sell-i-the-following-gold-coins/#comment-139 How quickly? Maybe 10 minutes at any reputable coin shop. Since you are putting very specific grades on these coins, may I assume that some of these have been professionally graded and slabbed? A slabbed MS-64 St. Gaudens will do enough better on eBay that it will be worth the effort. I would avoid selling anything to any of the gold buyers that have been advertising on TV, newspapers and the internet. If you check the ads, they refuse to say how much they are actually paying, and I have seen many complaints that they are paying half or less what you would get at a coin shop. A $ 20 St. Gaudens melts for about $ 850, and an MS-64 should go for about $ 200 more than that. How quickly? Maybe 10 minutes at any reputable coin shop.

]]> Comment on Are US Coins a decent investment? by muncie birder http://highreliefcoin.com/are-us-coins-a-decent-investment/comment-page-1/#comment-135 muncie birder Mon, 26 Dec 2011 13:41:42 +0000 http://highreliefcoin.com/are-us-coins-a-decent-investment/#comment-135 Unless you wish to take the time to become an expert, making money investing in coins will be a tough business. The coin market fluctuates quite a bit. Sometimes buffalo nickles are hot and sometimes Morgan dollars, etc. One of your responders answered that slabbed coins are the best way to invest. That is probably a very accurate statement. It eliminates, for the most part, buying mis-graded coins and they are much easier to sell, especially if they are rare. I think that making coins your main source of investment would be a very bad move even if you were an expert in the field. One responder suggested no more than 10% of your portfolio. Very sound advice. If you think that you want to do this, start learning the trade and buying a few coins. Do not buy more than one or two at a time. Check out the offerings on Ebay. Here is a link of current coin values. There is one thing you need to be aware of about investing in coins. They are prime targets for theft. If you were to keep them in your home and it became knowledge, you may wind up loosing them all or even worse you and your family dead. It happens all of the time.
