1908 No Motto $20 St. Gaudens MS-67 - Wells Fargo Hoard

Hello willi, You have a very nice coin in the ballpark of $6000

My sympathy on your loss of your father. Images would help greatly. "Eye appeal is buy appeal".

Welcome to Coin Community, willi922. Given that your coin is in a PCGS MS67 slab, images are less necessary because we can intelligently discuss value in the marketplace which is mainly derived from that slab.

This coin belongs in a major sale via dedicated auction house. There are a few good candidates in the hobby. Similar coins in similar sales have realized around $6000 within a range of say $500 each way. That price includes the Buyer's Fee from the auction house, which you won't see. There may or may not be a fee on the seller as well; differing houses have differing fee structures. Plan, at least, on needing a few weeks for this.

This is a very liquid coin in the marketplace. A local dealer who knows this market might be willing to give you a price closer to retail than he might otherwise, knowing it would be a quick turnover.

I would be hesitant about a venue like ebay unless you are an established seller. They're too volatile for a coin of this quality.

The most important takeaway here is that research and a bit of patience on your end will reward you with the best price. The corollary is also true - there are some who will cheerfully rip you off, and they will look reputable.

With that in mind, we'll happily address any questions we might generate.

If you decide to consign to a major auction house NEGOTIATE! With coins of this stature you should be able to get full hammer price. (The auction house would consider the buyers premium as their fee)

Condolences for the loss of your dad.

Pics of the coin would help; otherwise, SSDD was dead on.

As always.

Cascade, the scale of things here might astound you. Heritage alone moves some $800 Million per year in coins, and they are one of a few good choices. One would want to be consigning a large dollar value - into six figures - to expect significant concessions from them. That said, a place like Heritage will provide an audience including folks who would snag a coin like this for the investment value.

If I'm spending my own money or advising you on how to spend your money with gold as the goal, and writing checks this large, MS67 Saints would be one of my first two recommendations. The coin being discussed here is quite liquid, to say the least. It'll attract an audience.

Hardly, the value of that coin gets you into the minimum consignment value range. As superdave says in order to get any real negotiating level you'll need a six figure or better consignment.
