Hey all,

first this is NOT spam.


I have a lot of gold coins, and whatever, and I need some cash.

firstly, I can't figure out where to go to get some cash for this piece of gold. I can't send it in like those commericals. It's an United States 1 ounce gold bullion coin. It's worth around 980 dollars USD.... anyone know where to try to get money for it?

thanks

Look in your local phone book for coin dealers. They buy (and sell) coins.

Haven't there been a bunch of TV commercials and billboards for places giving cash for gold? Something like cash4gold dot com or something?

Guarantee you that even a retail coin dealer will give you better value.

I'd suggest either phonebook or a google search for coin collectors or societies in your area. Selling to a collector seems alot better than those pawnshops or cash for gold places.I'd like to get close to what its worth and not 1/3 .
