Helping You Negotiate Top Cash Prices:

Unlike some dealers we do not have anything to hide so please read below our brief guide to selling your coins and collectables, it will reduce the information disparity between us and will help you avoid potential and costly mistakes.

When one is selling coins it is important to understand how the rare coins market works. It is not like the stock market, whereby multinational companies, using other people's money, create markets.

There is a wholesale and retail market, where prices, depending upon the item, may differ by as much as 50%:

N.B: The rarer the item, the lower the margin. The more common an item, the higher the profit margin needed.

The reason for this is that most coin dealers, like us, are family owned and managed businesses with capital drawn directly from our family savings. In addition, most coins purchased may need to be held for weeks, months and possibly years, before a buyer is found.

Your local coin dealer may appear as the most convenient avenue, but probably does not have the network or capital required. In addition, this capital shortage may mean they need to pay far below retail prices if no immediate route for resale is available.

On the contrary, a dealer in the city centre, may have the capital, but also will need to cover substantial overheads.

An auction is often the best venue, but can be too expensive for the items to be sold; often as much as fifteen percent listing fee. Because we have world wide buyers we can pay more for the right specimens.

First impressions, for those within and without, the industry, may make dealers appear conceited, and at the worst arrogant. In all sincerity, this view may be very well deserved.

Numismatists could be likened to today's "tech wizards"; lonely geeks studying coins, books and catalogue from their bedrooms. It is only when one must deal directly with them that these so called geeks become the saviour of one's life. A comparison cold be drawn with a lawyer. Few people need legal advice, but when they do, the charges can appear quite offensive.

Our advice to you is research items as much as possible, because if you "dump" a biscuit tin of coins and say "how much?" the likely answer is: "not very much at all".

For this reason, please be prepared to take as much as 20-30% less than retaill sales and catalogue prices, so that the dealer has a chance to make a living.

Do not be offended if you find your dealer appears rude, his or her career means they sort through vast amounts of junk in order to locate the one item that may actually make money, and time is money in any business.

In addition, do not be upset if cherished heirlooms do not carry as high a premium of sentimental value as you would wish.
