I have lots of Wheat Cents and Toned Morgans for sale. For Wheaties I've been looking at the sold auctions for pricing but sometimes I get no interest. And for Morgans, especially toned, its even tougher to get a value.
How do you price your coins?

Heritage Auctions and everything you mentioned plus I google the items to see if any reputable sites are selling/or have sold the same/similar item.

Ebay sold listings can be used to determine value of an item.

Ultimately you need to build a customer base to sell coins often and for a good price. You can try Facebook groups as well. Use the price guide the coin is graded by.

I've used Facebook as well, both to buy and sell, however, selling is harder. I often give the price a little kick expecting some negotiations but often times I get no responses. I'll keep trying.
