How to Earn a Commission on a Gold Investment

Find gold coins that you can sell. To make money as a broker for rare coins, which will enable you to earn a commission on your sale, you need to identify coins that are desirable for buyers. You can go through online auctions, local auctions, coin shows, jewelry shops and ask friends, family and associates if they know of any desirable rare coins.

Learn the prices of rare coins. Learning how much a rare coin is worth is an essential part of brokering it, otherwise you won't be able to fully market it as desirable to a potential buyer. There are several publications including "Coin World" that can provide reliable, easy-to-read values.

Let coin dealers know that you are a coin broker. Letting the people who actually buy coins know that you have a supply of coins that they do not already know about will make you useful to the coin dealers, so that they will seek you out when you need something.

Negotiate a commission on coins that you bring in. To earn a commission, you will have to ask for it from the dealer. Negotiating the commission can depend on the volume that you bring in, the quality of the material you offer the dealer as well as how easy you are to work with.

Collect your commission. If you did everything right, you have found some coins that are coveted by dealers, you know their value, and you were able to connect the buyer and seller. Now, with the completed transaction, you need to request your commission if it has not already been given and work on setting up your next deal.
