How to Sell Your Freedom Ringing Liberty Bell Coin
Some of you are planning ahead before July 16 even happens. Others already have a coin sitting in a presentation case and are trying to decide what to do with it, which is the more pressing version of this question. Either way, a few decisions here are specific to this release that a generic "how to sell on Pure" guide won't cover.
What you actually have to sell
The release is three separate products, not one coin, and it matters which you're holding. The one-ounce gold coin (26LB), the half-ounce gold coin (26LC), and the half-ounce silver medal (26LD) each carry their own mintage of 2,026 and their own market once they start trading. A household can pick up one of each during the July 16 window, so you might be selling all three or just one.
Whatever you have is raw straight out of the Mint's presentation case unless you've already sent it somewhere.
Raw or graded: the tradeoff that's specific to this release
Selling raw is faster. List it, someone buys it, done. Grading adds a real third-party number to the coin's condition and, if you submit within the window, a First Strike or Early Releases label, but it costs money, takes weeks, and means the coin sits with PCGS or NGC instead of in a buyer's hands. Our grading guide for this release covers what those labels actually mean and the real 30-day submission deadline, worth reading before you decide either way.
There's no universally right answer here. A buyer chasing a graded example with a release-timing label will pay for one. A buyer who just wants the coin won't care, and you'll have sold faster by skipping the wait.
Pricing it when there's no track record yet
Every other coin you've probably sold had some sales history to price against. This one won't, not on day one. The Mint's issue price is a starting reference point. What a raw or graded Liberty Bell coin actually sells for gets decided by buyers and sellers once trading starts. Our explainer on what happens after a Mint sellout covers how that pricing forms in general, using other 250th-anniversary releases as examples.
Practically, that means checking the current order book before you set your ask rather than guessing at a number. Thin bids mean you're an early seller with real influence over where the market settles. A deeper book means you already have a read on what buyers are actually offering, no guessing required.
Listing it on Pure
The mechanics here aren't specific to this coin. Our general guide to selling on Pure walks through placing an ask, the three pricing types, what happens when your order gets overfilled, and how to deactivate a listing you no longer want. Find the Liberty Bell product page for whichever SKU you're holding, the one-ounce gold coin, the half-ounce gold coin, or the half-ounce silver medal, place your ask against the live order book, and ship once you have a match.
Payout runs 24 to 72 business hours after your item checks in and clears verification, and shipping is insured both ways up to $125,000. Seller fees are tiered by product type and your quarterly volume; the full fee breakdown has current rates rather than a number that will go stale here.
For context, eBay's Coins & Paper Money category charges a 13.25% final value fee on the first $7,500 of a sale (12.35% with a Store subscription), plus a small per-order fee, before shipping costs. Pure's seller fee on the same sale runs 0.50% to 1.50% depending on your tier.
Frequently asked questions
Should I grade my Liberty Bell coin before selling it?
Depends what you're optimizing for. Grading can add value for a buyer who specifically wants a certified, release-timing-labeled example, but it costs money and takes weeks. Selling raw is faster and skips both.
How do I know what to charge?
Check the live order book for your specific product before setting an ask. With no sales history yet, the current bids and asks are the best signal available, better than guessing off the Mint's issue price.
Can I sell more than one Liberty Bell coin?
You can sell whatever you legitimately hold. The one-per-household limit applies to buying from the Mint, not to what you can list once you own it.
What if I want to sell before the coin even ships to me?
You can't list what you don't have yet. Once your order from the Mint arrives and you've decided to sell, that's when a listing goes up.
