When you take your coins and other fine metals to real coin buyers that are members of the American Numismatic Association (ANA), you get the market value for your collection. And you don’t have to pay for appraisal, either.
You can find an ANA member by visiting money.org and click the ‘Dealer Directory’ link.
Had I known it was this easy, I would have gone online and did the same but since I procrastinated, I felt that my options were limited and just accepted the amount given to me.
Even when you find out later that you did not get the amount deserved, there is no recourse. So get the facts early on and get more money to pay bills and other household expenses.
Finally, an ANA member will treat you with the most respect and never bully you to close. And you get your money in pocket the same day so that it can be used to pay holiday bills or other household expenses you might have.
