<p>[QUOTE=&quot;renwick, post: 1308624, member: 34457&quot;]Hello. My mother has a rather large coin collection she inherited from her grandfather. I&#039;ve recently begun pawing through it and &quot;catalogued&quot; all of her Mercury dimes this evening. They are only a portion of the collection, she has other coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>She has 135 Mercury dimes, most in good condition. The oldest is a S1917. She has 34 1925 coins and a number of 1918s. There are many more and I have them organized in a notebook. I was dismayed to look up the value of these coins and found that most are not going for much nowadays. </p><p><br /></p><p>I looked on ebay, however, and found that people are asking QUITE a bit of money for some of the coins. I know the D1916 is valuable and the 41/42 coin, as well as two others, but these people are listing other coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Could someone offer some advice on the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Some ebay sellers are selling collections of Mercury dimes. Would this be a good idea to put all the coins up in a listing, and what kind of price should we put to them?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. What is the next step in assessing the value of all of her coins (not just the Mercury) and the way to get the best price for them, if any are valuable? Auction? Private collector?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for any and all help. I&#039;d be happy to transfer my notebook catalogue into this thread if anyone would like to see what Mercury dimes she has.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Ren[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
