The NGC Coin Dealer Locator makes it easy for collectors to find dealers who buy and sell U.S. coins, world coins, ancient coins, shipwreck coins and medals. Many of the dealers also offer numismatic services such as coin grading, certification, appraisals and auctions. Dealers listed here are members of the American Numismatic Association and agree to abide by its Dealer Code of Ethics.
Many private coin collectors, coin dealers and coin shops will not make an offer without seeing the coins that you are selling. Creating a list of the coins that you want to sell is a good start. It is also a good idea to write down your estimated value for each coin. It is important that you have a good understanding of what your coins are worth as this will help in the negotiating process when it comes to selling your coins.
Some resources that you can use to establish the value of your coins include NGC and PCGS price guides as well as the Red Book. Keep in mind that these are only guides and a large part of a coin’s value is determined by it’s condition.
If you have rare or collectable coins, you may find that a reputable coin dealer will pay more for them than what they would bring if sold for their metal content alone. This is because they will take into account the numismatic value of the coin which can increase the overall sale price. A reputable coin buyer will have experience and knowledge to assess the value of a coin and offer a fair price for your collection.
