<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 7287263, member: 84595"]Hello DJ's Mom. Like most here have said, a few pictures will help to evaluate your coins. The 1878 7/8 tail feather comes with many varieties. Many are common but still command good premiums in uncirculated condition. Also that coin has one of the rarer varieties, the VAM 44 triple cotton blossom variety, King Of The VAMS. In MS-61 it could have a wholesale of $9,000 and a retail around $13,000. There were two MS 61 of the VAM 44 variety on eBay with asking prices of $13,500 and $14,500. There are many reputable dealers and appraisers on coin talk. Always ask the person evaluating your coins if they evaluate for varieties. If they say no, go elsewhere. Take your coins around to a few dealers for their evaluation. Don't be pressured to sell. I have spent thousands of hours evaluating coins for people and never made or charged a dime but both the person and I can sleep at night knowing they got and I gave a fair evaluation. I have been collecting coins for 66 years and enjoy cherry picking coin dealers who don't do varieties. Keep reading the advice of CoinTalk members. Best wishes getting your coins evaluated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
