I have a quite extensive collection of coins... mostly Australian Perth Mint coins that I'm looking to trim.
Does anyone have any advice on the best places to go in Perth to sell or trade coins?
Either dealers... even auction houses. I've never sold before, only accumulated.
Welcome to ACF Littleowl.
To get the best price, you might need
to sell on Ebay, but if you can't be bothered
with that, then try Stirling & Currency in
Fremantle.

Yeah,unfortunately Ebay is the King,its time consuming listing but you have control over the price you wish to sell for.
With Auctions only use those that will allow a reserve,otherwise its a big risk,especially in todays economy.
Another trap is being talked into 'consignment' when the Dealers 'buy' price is too low too accept.
I got caught in the 1980's when a Gosford(NSW) Coin/Stamp/2nd hand Dealer shut up shop overnite.
He only got me for $200+ as i was wary with the first lot of Coins i let him have but it was a lesson learnt.
In those days it was the 'Trading Post' or SMH to sell/buy Coins,both were slow/tedious and costly,Ebay in the late 1990's was a godsend,renewed my interest in Coins and so far its lasted 20 years.
No personal experience for me but Andrew Crellin (https://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/andrew-crellin/) of Sterling and Currency (https://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/) has had favourable mentions in coin forums.

Hi littleowl, If your Perth coins are nice Uncs i would suggest sending them to PCGS-NGC for grading...You might get lucky and score some MS 65-66ers...Most of the raw Aussie coins on Ebay are just overgraded JUNK...

I suggest Andrew or try to sell privately. If you have top end pre decimal (Unc or higher ) then get them graded as suggested. Also after getting your post count up, post in here what you you have .. some of us may be interest in getting some ..
Good luck with it all .. welcome to the forum..

Yes, I use ebay for selling movie collectibles and such and it takes ages to create a listing. Plus just any time you take trying to figure out the value of each coin or collection.
Don't use eBay as a price guide too many shill bidding crooks
