its very easy to spot most silver fakes even if youve only been dealing with silver a few times. silver has a very specific feel, sound, and luster. Coins are even more obvious because they are minted to specific sizes and certain prints.

[@mikebarushok5361]

It's always a good idea to be upfront with a dealer about what you're wanting to do. Asking for their offer is very different from asking for an appraisal for insurance or for dividing an estate. Many dealers are very generous with their time, but don't abuse the privilege. If you're just going to sell your coins online and want help with pricing it's usually not cool to ask for expertise for free.

[@doyouevendab77]

Okay dumdum pop.

[@ViolosD2I]

Best idea is to ask them for an appraisal while being upfront about wanting to sell to them after.

[@kameljoe21]

Most people spend time looking up coins before they even head to a shop. The last time I sold some I made double of what I was expecting from said coins I took in.

[@mikebarushok5361]

@@kameljoe21 I personally wouldn't presume to speak for 'Most people '. When set up at coin shows I'm sometimes the only dealer showing and/or buying foreign coins. Many people do not know anything about grading and especially grading foreign coins. And, then even if they do and they know how to look up valuations, they may easily not know whether they are finding accurate or reliable information. And, as I mentioned there are different appraised values for different purposes.

[@kameljoe21]

@@mikebarushok5361 Generally people who are not collectors themselves will look up some or all of their coins online before they even step foot in to a coin shop. Generally these people know about how much their collection is worth and generally they are looking to off load them. You have 3 types of people. Those who inherited or found said collection and want to sell it off for the best amount of money (these people tend to have an idea how much said collection is worth from what information they can find on line) New collectors who know a little bit and are looking to trade up or expand their collection. Then you have the last group of people who are collectors and or investors who do not care what coins they have and only care about getting that last coin for their collection or selling off their collection to make money. Investors are the ones who know a lot of about the type of coins they buy and their value. The know when to buy and when to sell. j Generally those who sell off are in that first class to which I was speaking of. I on the other hand do not deal in coins and sell off any thing of value I find/buy. I sold off an entire collection that someone I know spent a life time collecting. Made a damn good amount of money. The only value I see in coins is their raw value as collector value is subjective to the markets and those who collect.

[@itsophishle7044]

The difference between a "Coin" and a "Round". A coin is actual currency, and in a last case scenario- is actually a redeemable currency for the face value that is printed on the coins face, in the country that issued the coin. A round, is just an ounce of silver melted into a round casting shape. There's a sales tax on rounds, as it is considered property. Coins do not have sales tax, as they are considered currency.

[@heeroru7781]

Depends on the country. The melt price of UK kilo coins actually dropped below face value for a while last year and the bank of England stated the face value was only "symbolic" and banks would not accept them as currency. I couldn't care less about their legal status. But I do like the security features.

[@jackmorton8776]

I love the concept of a “tuition box.” I’ve made plenty of stacking and collecting mistakes, and “tuition” is a great way to look at it.

It's videos like these that make me really regret selling my entire collection (it fit in a large briefcase, I'd been collecting since age 8 and I was in my early 20s when I offloaded them) of rare and valuable coins for money to buy OxyContin tablets. $50 CAD per 80mg pill adds up fast, especially when you need two a day to just not be sick and 4-6 to really get a nod going. 11 years off the pills and counting, now. Maybe I'll get back into collecting. After all, there's never been a better time to solidify your liquid assets than now. I sold the whole briefcase full of uncommons, rares, and even some very old coins and even rare, old, very good condition banknotes (all told, the coins were worth about 1800 to 2000 collectively) with a few 1/10th oz gold and 1oz silvers scattered into the mix for, drumroll, please... 400 dollars. 😭 Don't do drugs, kids.

Before you ever buy anything gold/silver for an investment ask them what the buyback price is. They have to make a profit to stay open. It’s no good if nobody will buy back what you have. If everyone wanted to sell their metals places can only buy so much. Spread your wealth on more than just gold/silver/numismatics. You can’t eat it and someday you might have to carry it all with you too. Find a friend and get educated before you get into coins and metals. You can go broke quick and overpay.
