I have a gold coin I want to sell but I dont know how and who to sell it to. It’s a rare 1849 Oregon Exchange Company 10.D 20.G Native Gold Ten.D Coin I know a little about it I just need help.
For a coin like this, getting it into a major public auction is probably the best avenue. I would recommend contacting Heritage Auction Galleries (HA.com) or a similar company.
