MN1 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Has anyone sold coins on the site Great Collections? I'm curious to know if sellers typically do ok on it and if there's greater exposure to more serious buyers than on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeEik Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Sellers do fine, in my opinion. You won't get much more for common coins, but rare coins do as well as Heritage considering there is only 10%-12.5% buyers fee compared to %20. It seems that there is a preference for PCGS/CAC coins on Great Collections, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN1 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 That's good to know. I'm debating over selling an 1805 Draped Bust Half Cent and a 1917 Type-1 Standing Liberty Quarter. I've never sold on eBay before but tired of the scam inquiries on Craigslist and Offer Up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeEik Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 eBay charges fees too, and you have to do all the work. GC is easy but it will take about 2 months to get paid. I’ve seen most SLQ do quite well there in higher grades. I’d expect you’ll get reasonable prices for both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Russel is great and will do you well (Great Collections)!! That is where you want to put your money. BlakeEik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numismatic, A.A.S. Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Great Collections definitely...Ian is Top Tier Exposure and 0% if it hammers over $1K...picture quality for coins is natural and high... Paid pretty fast considering the coins and time of year....he is awesome and has been since before GC...he was at a Top Auction house before GC.

Coinbuf Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I have both bought and sold through GC, Ian is very easy to work with and everything went super smooth for me. I have not bought much in recent years as his traffic has increased so have the prices that bidders are paying, to the point that I get blown out on most everything, great for sellers not so much so for buyers. And just a thought if you have a price you would like to get then putting them on the buy-sell- forum here first may be an option. Certainly not the number of eyes that you will get from GC or ebay but if you sell one there are no fees either, won't hurt to try for a few days before you attempt to action them off.

MN1 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 I was looking for the Buy-Sell Forum here. I thought I once came across but couldn't seem to find it or a link earlier today. Was going to look it over to consider that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same section of the forum where you replied to a question on silver eagles a few hours ago. BOBSBEST5150 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
