A Better Way to Sell Rare Coins
Record-breaking auction prices don’t always translate into record-breaking returns for sellers. While rare coins and collections can attract competitive bids, auction houses often charge substantial fees that significantly reduce your final payout.
Many auction results include buyer’s premiums—fees that go directly to the auction house, not to you. When both seller and buyer fees are considered, total costs can exceed 40%, leaving you with far less than the advertised sale price.
On top of that, the process is slow. From consignment to payment, it can take 5–6 months to receive your funds.
At Lipton’s, we offer a faster, simpler, and more profitable alternative—no consignment, no uncertainty, and no long wait times.
