<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1344638, member: 23885"]A lady stopped in the shop yesturday. She was interested in buying some costume jewelry we had. Anyhow we got to talking coins and she mentioned that her uncles friend was looking for an appraisal for his deceased fathers coin collection. She actually asked if I would be able to do it, and how much would it cost. I told her that I did not have a precious metals license, and could give her a rough estimate on U.S. coins, but did not have the authority or position to be able to certify anything. She took down my number. The only thing I can think of is to give her number to a local long time trusted dealer. Should I ask to be present during the appraisal if it happens? I think it would be very exciting, but have no clue as to how much to charge or what the general procedures are. I explained that I'd separte the coins into series, and then use current current greysheet/realized prices+ ebay completed listings to do the pricing. The only coin she could point out in the shop that she recognized was the morgan dollar. No clue how big the collection is. Any advice is greatly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Jason[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
