<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 1348479, member: 23368&quot;]You have a lot of work ahead of you if you plan to do any of this for real. And no, if your planning to bring a safe, you can also plan to bring it home. Unless the quantity is small and quality high, no one will allow you to just drop off bags of coins and leave the problem at their door step. Of course if you don&#039;t care how much they charge you, that may change their mind. You are going to have to separate and inventory them, educate yourself about them, and take some protective measures now, so they don&#039;t get damaged from your handling and from trasportation. As Doug said, they charge by the hour, so being organized in your approach will cut the time down on the bill. You may need coin holders, folders, flips or at least 2x2 cardboard protectors on them. However, if you know how to separate your very common pieces, you may cut down on that step as well. Hence, you will need reference books, price guides, even certain magazines and the like, to use and educate yourself. Then shop around to various dealers for apraisal costs, or ask them who they can recommend for that service. Then a few personal phone calls (and visits) and you may have a good handle on what it may cost you and maybe a guess to the collections value. ONLY THEN do you make the decision to go ahead or not. 35 years ago, if you had been keeping records and storing your coins properly, most of this would now fall in place for you. Unfortunately, you are going to have to do it now to get the job done in the right way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
