silver coins...where do you sell them?

[dsneybride]

So I have a few silver coins...quarters, halves, dollars. Anyone know where to go to try and sell them for a few extra bucks?

Most of places around here that buy gold buy other metals also.

Look for a Coin Dealer near you, most areas have them.

Thank you...I'll check it both of those options.

1) Pawn Shop
. . . they all take silver coins
. . . they pay the melt-down salvage rate
. . . they discount heavily, so they can maximize profits
2) Jewelry Store
. . . they also take the coins for silver value
. . . some actually pay the "sell" price as coins
3) Coin Shops
. . . they take all coins
. . . usually pay the "sell" rate for the coins
. . . typically higher than the silver melt-down rate

Look in the Yellow Pages for all of the above.

If any of your coins are older or possibly rare, check them out online to see if they might have a higher value than just the value of the silver. You'll want a reputable coin dealer, too, not just one who is eager to take them off your hands.

This is good advice. Do your research- get some books at the library.
You should know what your coins are worth before you approach someone to sell them.

My son (college junior now) has been buying and selling silver coins on ebay since he was 14 years old and it has been a great real life experience for him.
Buy low, sell high- know your stuff.

There are many places that buy for silver value, but coins, depending on date and condition can be worth much more. Definitely check the coin prices on-line before going as you may have some that a reputable coin dealer, or other coin collector amy give you much more for.
