Any coin shop should buy them. Make sure they are buying at the current spot price.
I go to my gem and opal guy in stanton califrnia
Ebay is how i might sell mine. Never craigslist or pawn shops.
Make sure you pay your 28% tax on the coin when you sell it.
There are a lot of dealers that also buy back: California Numismatics, APMEX, Provident Metals, JM Bullion, etc. They post a “we buy at” price next to their products. You call in a sale to them to lock in your price, and then mail your things to them, and get that price. Send the things registered and/or otherwise insured.
Any reputable dealer will give you a price over the phone, usually spot less a fee.

I just tried a Google search for “sell gold coin” and several sites came up — there must be some in your area too — just try a search. Coin dealers will buy your gold with no hassle, no need to go to pawn shops.
Good luck.
First, check a PM site like KITCO for the current spot price of gold. You should get at least 98% of the spot price when you sell. Then find a reputable coin shop to sell it to. Never sell at a Pawn shop.
Kitco.com
Gold eagles sell for more than spot price...there is a premium.

Definitely. Hit a coin dealer. They are usually very fair.
Stay away from pawn shops. They’re notorious for paying way below spot gold price.
Where you located? I have a great guy in my area (west coast Florida) who will actually meet you anywhere you’d like and pays cash on spot. Been dealing with him for years.
You start a blog and then you go on FreeRepublic and post headlines such as “Gold Will Hit $5,000!!!!” and then sell your gold.
Any coin shop should buy them, but check the current spot price and then call a couple of the shops in your area. The price can vary close to a hundred dollars what one shop will pay versus another one.
Here in ATL, there’s a monthly numismatic show where you could go and talk to multiple dealers gathered at the same location.
Do you need the money right away?
if not, auction is the way to go. Numismatic auction of course. If you need a couple names I have them.
Random coin dealers might not be the way to go. I have had some very bad experiences with coin dealers. I had one coin dealer offering me five times face value on Franklin silver half dollars while back home in Boston the going rate was fifteen times face value.
Coin dealer that deals in cash. There are plenty of them.
They should give you 96% of melt price. Ie the value of the gold at spot -4%.
If you go ebay, you have to pay commissions... And it’s potentially reported as income. Unless you have a cash basis for that gold, that’s a lot of percentage to eat.
Post an ad on www.armslist.com that you want to trade it for a gun, etc. — you might actually find someone who will pay you close to retail for it that way. Meet at a bank to make the transaction. If you’re in Texas, http://www.texasguntrader.com. Other states have gun websites. Look around.
Find a Chinese, Vietnamese or Indian restaurant in your town. Tell em you’ll only take cash.
