Where to sell coins? Valuable and rare coins. Coin purchase

Coins of the USSR and Russia can be found in piggy banks of every citizen of our country. Someone collected money as a child of any dignity, someone simply saved it for a cherished dream, someone collected it on a chosen, for example, Olympic theme. Now this "wealth" is the time to realize.

Do not lose when selling

Not only beginners in the numismatics business, but also collectors find out where to sell the coins. You can do this in several ways: through a pawnshop, through a bank, at an auction, through resellers.

Sale through the pawnshop - option for accelerated implementation. They operate with a different set of services. Some institutions accept coins as collateral, as a separate category of valuables. Other lending institutions will accept, without the purpose, return and repurchase of collateral in the form of scrap or jewelry, depending on the state of the coin.

Selling through banks has its difficulties. They accept the values in perfect condition, preferably in a bank package. Experts check the authenticity of the coin and its trade status. If the inspected copy was only taken out of the package, the bank will reduce the purchase price by 3%. In the presence of external damage in the form of stains, scratches, chips, breaking the form of the offer to purchase the bank will reject.

Remember also that there is a price gap in sales and purchase transactions. There is a high probability that in a short period of time (month, year), the purchase price by the bank will not exceed the selling price for it.

Auctions on the coin trade are organized on the Internet. The company that organizes the auction is an intermediary and earns on commission fees. The intermediary is interested in the product being sold at the maximum price. In order not to become the owner of a fake of high quality, choose an auction with the presence of high-level specialists having a successful experience of sales and purchase. Convenience of the auction on the Internet is that you do not need to spend energy on finding a real buyer and risking the safety of material values.

Where to sell coins - the choice of the seller of valuable things.

Track the time from purchase to sale. The income from the transaction is subject to personal income tax at a rate of 13%. But if you have a valuable monetary unit for more than three years, the seller is exempt from paying income tax on individuals and from filing a declaration. If the time of ownership is less than three years, but the amount of income on sales transactions is not more than 250 thousand rubles, or the sale price is lower than the purchase price, the tax is also not paid, but there remains the obligation to file a declaration and the right to demand a tax deduction. The evasion of filing a declaration entails a fine of one thousand rubles.

Trekking in an antique store

The term "buying up coins" is of everyday use. The correct name for the operation is "purchase." Coins are bought by antique shops, collectors, second-hand dealers, orienting themselves in the prices and volumes of goods on the market.

Resellers - intermediaries between the seller and the final buyer, interested in earning in the form of a margin. The purpose of a reseller is to buy cheap and sell expensive. A common offer from resellers is a quarter, sometimes a third of the real price.

Antiquarian shops buy only rare things, thus insuring against over-saturation. Whom the transaction is planned with, the seller is required to familiarize himself with the operating catalogs in order to reduce the risk of lost profit from the sale at a price lower than the catalog price.

The purchase of coins can not be mass. Numismatics operates with rare specimens.

Common mistakes in the sale and purchase of coins

1. Beginners try to buy a lot in the hope of selling expensive and quickly get rich. But investing in metal money is a long-term operation. Do not plan in numismatics earning income in a short time. Waiting for a suitable sale price lasts for years. Financiers advise buying coins for no more than 5% of free funds. And do not take loans to buy.

2. The principle of buying "the more - the better" - an erroneous strategy. Decide on the subject of the future collection: coins of one country, era or theme. Strive to become a competent collector and an expert in the chosen direction of numismatics.

3. Greed and dilettant naivete are not helpers when collecting a collection. Carefully study the information on the coin of interest. When buying rarities, invite an expert in the field of numismatics. Do not buy valuable products in random places, even if the price is declared lower than the catalog price. According to numismatists, 50% of coins on the market are fakes. When you sell later, and do not get rich, and spent will not return. Where to sell coins with a profit, decide the seller. But fix the transaction on paper for reliability and risk reduction.

4. Numismatic values are subject to theft not less than other products made of precious metals. Examine the coin parameters before buying. Buy collection items only from trusted sellers with a proven reputation.
