PNG Releases Free Video on Selling Coins Online
A free, one-hour YouTube video featuring the Professional Numismatists Guild educational symposium on selling coins online is now available to the public. The program was presented in conjunction with the Florida United Numismatists Convention and focuses on helping dealers grow through live online coin sales.
PNG Leaders Explain the Benefits of Live Coin Selling
According to PNG Executive Director John Feigenbaum, PNG President James Sego, and Jeff Garrett, former president of both the PNG and the American Numismatic
Association (American Numismatic Association), the symposium was designed to educate professional dealers on the benefits and long-term potential of live coin selling online.
Specifically, they emphasized that live selling allows dealers to reach wider audiences while preserving trust, expertise, and professional standards. As a result, online platforms now offer dealers new ways to connect directly with collectors in real time.
eBay and Whatnot Share Strategies for Online Coin Sales
During the symposium, eBay Live representatives Rebecca Tran, Jacob Acosta, and Elisa Yu shared practical strategies for improving online coin sales. Yu described live commerce as a major shift in how collectors shop.
“Live shoppers are treasure hunters looking for a great deal and great inventory,” Yu said. “However, they return for the entertainment, the community, and the trust.”
In addition, Yu encouraged dealers to offer limited-time deals and exclusive items available only during live online events. Meanwhile, Acosta explained how sellers can improve listings, streamline workflows, and reduce selling fees on eBay.
At the same time, Kevin Anthony, Category Lead at Whatnot, explained that live selling introduces coins to entirely new audiences. He noted that education plays a central role in converting first-time viewers into long-term collectors.
Live Online Coin Selling Continues to Grow
Taken together, the discussion made one point clear: selling coins online through live platforms is no longer optional for forward-thinking dealers. Instead, it represents a powerful opportunity to educate collectors, build community, and expand the reach of the numismatic hobby in a digital-first marketplace.
