Pre-midlife crisis when it comes to coins

You had to insure it for 300.00? Surely it didn't cost 300.00 for one coin? I was told by my insurance I had to carry a separate rider. That's all I know at this point until I'm done inventorying everything (which could take eons given my quantity).

Do you need to ID each and every coin? If not, then I would just ID the more-valuable-than-usual ones.
So you would ID your 1889-CC morgan but then if you had a bunch of common dates you would just say 50x BU Morgans (since common dates are all worth about the same)

 

I don't actually know yet. I was waiting until I got my actual inventory complete and graded (which presents problems right away, for me). I was told that unless each is documented that I couldn't ever claim anything if it were lost. Don't know yet though. Not sure how it works.

 

I use CoinManage software, it's the fastest way I've found to get them all in one place with approximate (book) values

 

That's exactly what I'm using. The price does seem to vary from grade to grade (of course). My grading skills need work but I have to start somewhere. I try not to over grade and try to think of them critically as if I was a buyer negotiating a price but, it's tough to 'go low' on your own stuff.

 

Thankx GD I certainly will look into this opportunity!

 

Thank you much! I certainly will check that out when I'm a little closer to placing a value on exactly what I have. Like I said, I went crazy on ebay, local dealers, had a friend get me coins through his connections, etc. I have tons of foreign coins as well (many are in 2x2's with prices affixed to them already that I picked up cheap, some of which I've found way off). So, when ready, I will and I appreciate the info!
