How do I find out the value of rare gold coins?
I know how to look up the retail prices but am not sure the best way to sell a coin on the open market to get the best price.
First, go to your local public library and see if they have a copy of the "Standard Catalog of World Coins" (published by Krause Publications), if you have not done so already, and it sounds like you did. That will tell you fineness and gold weight of your coin as well as approximate retail price in a range of different grades. Then go to eBay and see what your coin or coins like it are actually selling for. I hate to say it, but eBay is the dominant market.
Your local coin dealer pays less than retail for obvious reasons: He sells at retail, and needs to make a profit to stay in business.
