Sold My Gold Coins! How Difficult Was It? (1 Guy Wanted To Blowtorch Them)

A blowtorch... He Wanted To Test My 3K Gold Coin with a blowtorch... If you want to sell your gold coins, there's a few options available. There's also some weird and awkward situations I didn't consider...

I found that the big online buyers offered the best rates when you want to sell your gold coins, but the problem is that here in Malta, I can't send gold abroad by courier, as too much of it was being stolen and they won't insure it anymore.

So it's the domestic market for me - and not actual coin dealers, but jewellers looking to melt my gold down and make new jewellery out of it. There's a few things to consider, and strange situations I found myself in which needed a bit of navigating... Hope my experience helps!
