I know that if you try to sell to Coin dealer they will usually only give you only about 60% of the book value on a coin (and less for items that are not too popular). Gold and silver are some what of an exception, they usually will pay at least the melt value of a gold or silver coin plus a small premium. It's still a little less than the retail value of the coin, but that's too be expected. But be sure to ask before you sell. They're usually a safer bet than any of these cash4gold and similiar companies, but use caution. I’m a coin collector and small scale dealer.

Cash 4 Gold advertises on TV heavily, radio, newspaper, online - just about everywhere. This expense drives up their marketing costs and they need to cover that expense in what they pay out to the consumer, its that simple.

Cash4Gold advertises like mad on the Howard Stern Show. I guess while they're paying big money to advertise with him ($5,000-ish per spot), they're giving you what's left...which, apparently, is not a lot. Thanks for the info!

I've been seeing their TV commercials like crazy (not to mention another company that has gold/silver buying "conventions" at a local hotel every Sunday) and wondered how much they were taking from people.
