<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1349134, member: 26302&quot;]If its for an estate and no one wants them, take them to a coin show and get three or four offers for the lot. If its common stuff like bags of wheats and junk silver, and the like they will give you their buying price. Most good coins are good, meaning the purchaser has them in holders. Anything in a holder a buyer will look at separately, but bags they assume are in bags for a reason. A buyer is not going to go through a junk silver bag coin by coin to see if there is a 1916d in there, he assumes it junk.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I just see different kinds of groups of coins than others do. Most I see from people are an old cigar box, or a mint bag full of coins that are easily sorted through by an experienced hand. Yes, if your bags have some high value coins mixed in they need to be sorted through, but again most coins in bags are there for a reason, they have already been grouped into like kind and value.</p><p><br /></p><p>My suggestion is to make sure any collectible coin is NOT in a bag. It is labeled and put into another storage medium. When going through folders or boxes of coins I go much slower and pay attention to each coin, but bags are assumed common stuff. If you have bought a bunch of better coins over the years, then thrown them into bags, I would HIGHLY recommend you pull them out. Even if you don&#039;t get an appraisal right now, your heirs will not get very much value for those coins is my fear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
