I have a sizable trunk of 1932 Saint-Gaudens gold coins. They say they are worth twenty U.S. Dollars and are supposedly legal currency, right? I'm a little confused about the whole FDR thing. But I can't find anyone who will accept them at the store. They treat it like like it's Confederate money. What should I do? The trunk ( 2X3X2) is completely full, so I can't even move it out of the way where it sits out in the barn next to the applejack barrels. Be a shame to go at them with a shovel and toss them into the ravine, as they are so shiny and mint-like.

Does anybody have a bass boat and an eastern european bride (sexy, curvy, dark eyed Georgians preferred) they'd consider in trade?

Read Smart Ways to Sell Your Gold.
But most of all, do your research.
Check for dealers in your State and neighboring States.

From Wiki Part 3: Selling Gold Coins

Keep track of gold value. It is just as important to know the price of gold when you’re selling as it is when you’re buying.
Most newspapers report the price of gold daily, and you can get almost instantaneous updates online at several sites.
Don’t sell the gold immediately unless the type of coin you have is doing very well.
Check the site often and sell when the coin is doing well, or when you really need it.
• Keep track of the price www.goldprice.org
• Even if the coin is doing particularly well, it is wise to wait years before selling certain coins.


Keep track of the value of your country's currency. This is also widely reported.
As mentioned, there tends to be an inverse relationship between that and the value of gold.
It is best not to sell when the currency for your country is doing very well.
Instead, wait for the currency to decline in value.

Aim to sell your coins at the peak of demand. This is where both research and intuition steps in.
You want to sell your coins right before the value of gold starts going down, so that you walk away from the transaction with more money than you spent on the coins.
Since timing the market does not always work, you should consider selling when the price of gold is at all time high, the demand is very high, the sentiment is generally bullish, and you are sitting at a sizeable profit.
• No matter what the reports say and how the market is doing, the choice to sell is ultimately up to you.


Take your gold coin to a jeweler or pawn shop. It is an option to sell directly to a jeweler or pawn shop, but you should make a trip to either or both places no matter where you sell.
Look for a reputable jeweler or pawn shop, take your gold coins to them, and ask to have an estimate to assess their value.
Use that value as the base of what you charge, whether it is online, like on eBay, to an individual, or to a retailer.
• Go to three or four shops for estimations.
