What is the best way to sell your coins?
There are several ways to go about selling your gold coins, rare coins or coin collections. We'll explore the different ways and afterwards we'll point out what we can do for you. Since we buy and sell millions of dollars in rare coins and are considered a highly competitive group of coin buyers, we'll make you a fair offer on better material if it is in our hands in order to do so, assist you or refer you to the right coin auction service or simply refer you to the right place for you to communicate on your own to navigate your own way thru this sometimes difficult area of the coin business.
  1. Coin Auctions: Selling your coins at auction
    Whether you are selling a finest known gold coin rarity a collection of silver dollars, Colonial coins, or even what appears to be a common collection or accumulation of common coins, selling your coins can be a daunting task. For the amateur coin collector as well as the uninformed person who merely inherited a group of rare coins, it can be virtually impossible to realize the best prices for your coins without proper guidance and help. Have you been looking for a coin buyer or a coin trader? Are you trying to find the right coin buyers to sell your rare coins to?

    It has become a widely accepted fact among rare coin dealers that selling certain types of coins thru certain major coin auctions houses at specific venues yields the highest prices realized for those rare coins. In many cases, coin prices realized at certain auctions blow away-perceived wholesale coin values even after the traditional coin auction fee is paid. Many US and foreign gold coins at recent sales broke price records and stunned coin collectors everywhere. Trouble is, most amateur coin collectors as well as the vast majority of uninformed people who sell their coins never quite find the avenues that best serve their goals when they want to sell their own collectibles and coin holdings.

    Tom Pilitowski has at one time or another represented clients thru every major coin auction company. As a seasoned professional, Mr Pilitowski has generated tens of millions of dollars in rare coin sales consisting of gold coins, silver dollars, complete coin collections, fabulous foreign coins and more for his customers thru wholesale channels when needed and thru coin auction houses when the bottom line was most important.

    You may have asked yourself, why do better rare coins sell for more money at auction? Simple. Because not only do rare coin dealers buy at auction, so do rare coin collectors. When you are selling to a coin dealer, he may have a handful of retail customers he can present your coins to. They may or may not be interested, be liquid, etc. At the right coin auction on the other hand, your coins may be presented to thousands of interested collectors, investors and dealers. And when that moment of sale occurs, your coins may find hundreds of hungry buyers bidding on them simultaneously. Hence a better bottom line for better coins.

    You may also be asking what's the best auction, or how do you know that your coins have a better chance of selling for the highest price at auction or is selling to a gold and silver coin buyer, or coin trader your best bet. If you have a coin collection, whether you've bought and assembled it or if you've inherited them, you owe it to yourself and your family to seek out the best way to sell them. If this applies to you, contact us here or call us at 1-800-624-1870 to discuss the particulars, or for more information about coin auctions.

  2. Selling your coins outright to a dealer: We buy coins
    This is usually the fastest way in which to sell your coins. Tom Pilitowski has bought and sold many millions of dollars in rare coins and collectible gold coins over the years and has developed a solid base of both dealer and non dealer customers who represent a huge financial base in which to offer rare coins to. If you have better gold coins and silver coins and would like to make a fast exit from the rare coin market it would make sense for you to ship your rare coins to Mr Pilitowski and his company for a fast, usually same day offer. Please do not ask us to make you sight unseen offers on your coins unless you have bought them from us. Making you sight unseen offers would not be in either of our best interests, therefore we will not make them. Ship your gold coins or other coins registered, insured mail to our address below and we will make you fast offer backed with either an overnight check or wire transfer. On collections valued at more than $10,000.00 we will cover the insurance on express mail (only) packages but you will need to enclose a check for return shipping in the event you do not accept our offer. Here is a very basic coin buy price list what we pay for you to consider before contacting us.

    WHAT ARE YOUR COINS WORTH?
    Tom Pilitowski and US Rare Coin Investments deals primarily in better date gold coins and silver coins for collectors and investors, in uncommon condition., While you may have coins that appear to be similar to the images you see on our site, we can assure you, they are probably are not.

    Many of the coins we handle were specially made and were meant to be preserved since the time of issue. The slightest imperfection or hint of wear can knock a coins quality down by several points. It is impossible for a non educated non collector to understand what grading involves, and it is best that you have a professional look at these coins.

    PLEASE NOTE!
    WE DO NOT GIVE APPRAISALS OR RENDER OPINIONS WITHOUT VIEWING THE COINS ON OUR PREMISES!

    If you do feel you have coins of superior quality, pieces that were passed down since they came from the Mint (prior to 1954), or were assembled by a knowledgeable numismatist, we'd be more than happy to help you evaluate them or we'd love to buy them!

    However, if you have "common coins", it would be best to look up your local coin dealer in the phone book and bring your coins to them, or you can buy The Official Red Book to United States Coins 2010 (click here). See the list below. While we will help you liquidate larger holdings of these coins and generally offer better prices than the local shop, we will need to have them in hand before assigning any Numismatists to handle their sale.

    Package the coins in a sturdy box and seal it with a non-reflective brown tape (the post office will not accept shiny tape!) Bring to the post office and send your coins via registered insured mail. Remember if we are to return coins to you, it is your responsibility to pay for those costs. Include a list if possible, and do not forget to include your address and contact information. So we can forward you and offer or a check.
