Hi
I have a few gold proof coins that I would like to sell, some quite rare (all post 2010). Can you advise on the best options to achieve the best prices? As far as I can tell I'm looking at either dealers, auctions, ebay (to be honest I don't like that option as it just seems too risky) or this forum. The problem with dealers seems to be they are very aggressive on price and can sometimes be offering up to 50% lower than they sell them for. I even got an offer from a dealer which was below spot (and I mean spot before the recent Ukraine related spike).
Auctions I know very little about and do not know how likely they are to achieve a good price.
And this forum, is there an appetite for proof, or is most of the interest in bullion grade? I do know there is the @BackyardBullion escrow style service, which takes out some of the risk of dealing with unknown individuals.
Any advice gratefully received, especially if you have specifics, or experience of selling similar.
Thanks!
