Sell Your Rare Coins to Collectors All Over the World
Get your coins appraised and graded. If you do not know how to do these things yourself, take your coins to a professional coin dealer. The dealer will tell you how old your coins are, what condition they are in and how much they could be worth on the coin market.
Use eBay to sell your rare coins (see Resources below). eBay is a hotbed of coin commerce. You can connect with collectors from all over the world, each one of whom is a potential customer. Depending on the age and value of your coins, you may opt to sell them in the general auction area of eBay or you may decide to put them for sale in the Antiques section where more valuable items are often located.
Take your coins to a coin show. There are coin shows held all over the world each year. Vendors can come to these shows and set up tables to display and sell their coins. This is an excellent way to place your coins directly in front of potential buyers.
Advertise in coin collectors' magazines like the Numismatist (see Resources below). Taking out an ad in the classified section allows you to reach many readers who are in the market to buy rare coins.
Seek out websites devoted to coin collecting. These are good places to list the rare coins you want to sell. The people who go to these websites are coin collectors, after all. They are your target audience and the people most likely to buy your coins. Sell Coins.com (see Resources below) is one such site.
