What is my best route to selling a collection that Ive inherited?
Obviously, you want to get the most money you can for the coins. For this reason, I recommend that you follow the guidelines as described above to get a basic idea of the collection’s worth. Depending on the total value and the speed with which you need to get paid for the collection, you should decide between one of two basic avenues to follow. Sell wholesale to a coin dealer or consign to an auction. Generally speaking, the longer you can hold out on funds, the more you will be able to get for the collection. CGO offers a long list of professional coin dealers and auction houses to choose from in our Search section. Q: Can you recommend a reputable coin dealer or auction company to me? A: CGO does not endorse any specific coin dealers or auction houses; however, it is probably best to work with one that is a member of one or more professional organizations. Use your best judgement. Follow a similar method as you would in choosing an attorney, doctor, accountant or other professional.
