If you want to find out how to sell gold coins and silver coins, we’ll tell you everything you need to know.

How to Value Your Coins

The golden rule of selling gold coins is never put anything up for sale until you know how much it’s worth. You don’t want to undersell your coins.

Always remember that the value of the coin is not necessarily the same as the price. The price is what you paid, whereas the value is what someone else is willing to pay you for the same coin.

Anyone who’s been in the business of selling coins for a while knows that there’s no simple answer to – what’s the value of a gold coin?

There are a number of factors that need to be considered. These include the following:

  • Date
  • Mintmark
  • Condition
  • Actual Gold Weight (AGW)
  • Rarity
  • Demand

Together, you can estimate the value of your coin. Some of the factors are more difficult to estimate than others. For example, the demand for the coin can only be assessed by speaking with experts and buyers. While the AGW is easy to discover.

The AGW provides you with how much the value of the coin per ounce of gold. You can find this out here. It’s the value of the coin melted down.

You can use this value as a benchmark for how much you value the coin. Never sell any coin for lower than the scrap value.
