Here’s the scoop on the most common places.
Update... I’m sure you wouldn’t fall for this… but... many companies, especially the traveling buyer shows, have very official and prestigious (often, completely misleading) business names and titles. Often, their names imply they’re associated somehow with well known and respected organizations they have nothing to do with.
for a coin dealer who’s got several years of experience, knows what they're doing, and is well known, trusted, and respected in your area.
To see who will give you the highest price for your coins, gold, or silver, call several places and give them the same exact description of what you have. What you want to do is compare "apples" to "apples".
