In order to sell a coin of substantial value, in my opinion online is the way to go. Online buyers will bid with confidence for a coin authenticated by a grading service. I would only sell to a dealer if a coin were in "poor" condition, such that it had only scrap value.</p><p><br /></p><p>My father was a coin collector, and he referred to badly worn coins as "washouts." Your coin on the other hand is in nice collectible condition, which is why the dealer commented on your handling -- hoping to acquire it.
