The first question I have is what sort of valuation are you looking for? Are you looking for what price you should get if you sell, or are you looking for what value you should insure the collection for in case of loss? There is a big difference.
If you got these coins as part of an estate distribution perhaps you should ask the executor what value was assigned to the coins, how he/she arrived at the estimation.
With coins there is no exact figure to put on any coins, experts often disagree as to the graded condition of the coin, and also the market for it. Usually plus or minus ten percent is considered a good appraisal.
