<p>[QUOTE="kazuma78, post: 8350049, member: 17304"]Job well done! It's fun to do that and help. A friend of mine who is not a collector asked me to help a client of his with this very same thing. For once the collection was fantastic and I gave her the same advice you did. I told her the collection was probably worth $20k-40k depending on how coins were graded and she said she would contact me in the spring for more help. In the spring my friend said she took it all to a local coin ship where she proceeded to sell it for $10k. It was extremely disheartening, partially because I was looking forward to getting them graded for her or consigning them, partially because it ended up being a massive waste of my time and partially because I would have happily forked over far more than $10k for them had she offered them to me. Lots of 1800's proofs and gold were in the collection, all bought in the mid-late 80s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
