Never sell to a pawn shop or coin store - always sell privately.
Why? Pawn shop I get, but what is wrong with selling to a coin store?
Nothing, really. But you're going to be able to get a better deal if you sell privately a lot of the time.
Coin stores won't always give you numismatic value. And those premiums can be significantly more than the weight value of a piece. (If you're a regular, you may get a much better deal.) Walk into a coin store, ask: what's spot and what's bid? How much are you selling for/ how much are willing to pay me?
