Coin Dealers in Dublin

Well if you're in Dublin, there's a coin fair coming up in October at the RDS.

Sure about that? Couldn't find any dates, just references to one in February 2012.

Thanks for that. Is it worth going for the coin part of it?

LB, I have bought and sold at this Fair, Feb one is the best. It is worthwhile for a new collector to familiarise with Dealer Prices/Values but you can do this on the Internet. If you are looking to buy you will pay top price, better to deal through Internet/Phone where you can bid/Offer a percentage. The show is really an outlet for dealers to shift coins they have been stuck with for Months/Years which are currently depreciating, they should be prepared to lower their prices but as they have paid for table space the price is kept inflated. The October show will have 85% same coins which were on show in Feb.
If you are selling coins the dealer is likely to offer between 50% and 65% of the current market value, for silver coins 70% of the silver bullion value but it's worth getting a few quotes, weigh silver accurately let's say 100gm, deduct % not silver, get Daily rate per Gram from Internet eg 65cents/gm.....100gm of 75%silver@.65pg=€48.75 expect a dealer to offer approx €30-€36 for that quantity.
Rare coins should be sold individually at the regular coin auctions, usually 4 or 5 each year, rather than offered to a dealer who will make the bulk of the profit.
Hope you find this helpful. Cheers Raz.

You will also be able to pick up literature on coin collecting, grading and valuation, dealers there also sell coin pockets, trays etc.

That's five years old. The prices of silver has gone fairly bonkers in recent years.

Hi, I am looking for advice about getting a coin valued. It is a US $5 gold coin from 1912 (Indian Head) in what appears to be very good condition. I did find it on ebay going from $600 all the way to > $13k, which makes it pretty hard to figure it out. Any suggestions about where or who to talk to?

Thanks in advance.

i have a big jar of coins, paper money that i found after my mam died a couple of years ago.

i would love to know where i could sell them as they are just laying around in a jar.

anyone know of a good place to sell these?

When is the next coin fair in the rds?

Hi,

I have a 1 cent euro coin that is the same colour as a 10 and 20 cent coin. Presume its not worth anything but does anyone know if this is part of a set or is it in circulation as i haven't seen one around before and cant see it on any pictures of it online. It is a German Coin from 2002. Thanks.

Thanks, here's a picture of it.

Thanks for the photo. Unfortunately I can't tell by looking at it as the top coin is heavily toned so the other 1c just looks like one that hasn't toned much. When these coins are new and uncirculated they are very shiny and I'm wondering might that be confusing you? I think I'd really need to see it in hand to determine if it's got a golden colour as opposed to a very shiny copper colour. Hard to tell from here sorry! But keep it aside anyway as you could be right.

Thanks Blade. It's hard to see from a picture alright but it's definitely the same material and colour as a 10cent coin. I'll keep it aside anyway. Thanks again.

Ya i thought that but i magnified it now i have my doubt look at the close-up.

This picture look better.
