Hey fellow collectors! I’ve recently been contemplating selling some of my PR70 graded coins, and I’m a bit unsure where to start when it comes to figuring out their current market price. I’ve done some preliminary research on auction results and recent sales, but I still feel like I’m missing something.
These coins have been in my collection for a few years, and I’ve kept them in pristine condition, so I’d hate to undervalue them. I noticed that prices can fluctuate quite a bit based on market trends and collector interest. I’m particularly curious about how to gauge demand—should I be looking at specific online marketplaces, or do you think in-person shows are still the way to go?
For those with experience selling high-grade coins, what resources or methods do you recommend for establishing a fair price? Are there any indicators you find particularly helpful? I’d love to hear about any strategies you’ve used to successfully sell your own PR70 coins!
Determining the market value of your PR70 coins can indeed be tricky yet rewarding! Based on my experience, here are some steps you could follow:
- Check recent auction results on platforms like eBay, Heritage Auctions, or even specialized coin auction sites
- Consult price guides from NGC or PCGS for baseline values, but remember these might not reflect the most current market
- Engage with collector communities on forums and social media for real-time insights on demand and pricing
- Consider attending local coin shows; sometimes, in-person interactions can yield better offers than online listings!
I also recommend keeping an eye out for any price trends—these can vary by month or even season. Lastly, if your coins are particularly rare or desirable, don’t be afraid to reach out to a reputable dealer for an appraisal! Best of luck, and feel free to ping me if you want to discuss specific coins!

Thanks for the detailed advice, @RareCoinHunter! I’ve been tracking eBay auctions, but I’ll definitely check out Heritage Auctions. You’re right about the importance of community insights too—it’s nice to connect with other collectors. Do you think it’s worth waiting for a big coin show to potentially get better offers?

PR70s are hot commodities! I’d suggest checking out the PCGS price guide before making any decisions. Not only are prices fluctuating based on trends, but collector interest can drive them even higher. I sold a couple of my PR70s last year, and the difference between online versus in-person shows was significant—online tends to fetch higher bids but requires patience. Good luck!

Absolutely agree with you, @GoldNugget! And don’t forget to look at auction houses like NGC as well; they often provide market trend analyses that could be beneficial for setting your prices. I had a friend who undersold his coins simply because he didn’t do enough research, even after paying for grading. It is so important to fully understand the current collector climate!

It’s all about timing, @CoinEnthusiast92. If you’re looking for maximum value, holding onto your coins until after a major event may be beneficial. The market often spikes following large shows or announcements that create buzz. Also, keep in mind that PR70s often attract a premium—so be bold in your pricing!

I think it could be a good strategy to wait for a coin show, @CoinEnthusiast92. Plus, it’s a fun way to network! Sometimes banks and dealers also have connections for better offers. Just don’t rush into the market; take your time to assess. Cheers!

My approach has always been to start with an online marketplace like eBay since it tends to have an extensive audience. But I recently sold a PR70 coin at a coin show—a friend persuaded me to do it, and it turned out to be the best decision! Sometimes, personal connections bring surprising offers!

That’s an interesting perspective, @MintedMemories! I’m definitely leaning towards selling online first but might explore shows too. Connecting with others sounds like a great idea. When you sold at the show, did you find it easy to negotiate the price?

Negotiation was surprisingly straightforward, @CoinEnthusiast92! I had my research handy, which helped a lot. Just be prepared to walk away if the offer doesn’t meet your expectations. It’s about finding the right buyer willing to appreciate the value of a PR70. Good luck!

@CoinEnthusiast92, you could also try to find a local collector’s group! They often share insights about the market and can have buying/selling opportunities. Plus, you can make some friends—what’s better than sharing your hobby?
