[QUOTE="kanga, post: 24637972, member: 9270"]I've decided to divest myself of part of my coin collection. I'm 81 and my physical condition is slowly getting worse. I still get around okay but my mental condition is fading. So I want to sell/auction part of my collection before it becomes difficult for me to do that. It would be more difficult for my wife to handle that since she has very little numismatic knowledge. I intend to start with sets that I consider complete and that I haven't looked at in a long time. I'm now trying to figure out what is the best way to do this and, of course, get my best value. EXAMPLE: I have a complete date set of Indian Head cents. They are all slabbed, mostly PCGS but a few NGC. They all grade MS-63, MS-64 or MS-65. [B]Question 1[/B]: Should I look at auction houses (GC, Heritage, etc.) or individual dealers? Experience has taught not to ask a Question 2 until I decide about Question 1. I find that often [U]my[/U] [B]Question 1[/B] is not the one I should be asking first. So I'm asking for advice and opinions that will help me get started on the right track.[/QUOTE]
