Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1344964, member: 26302"]Yes, but aren't appraisals different than offers? I have helped out friends of friends, and told them what their coins were worth and what they could expect a dealer to pay for them. If they offered to sell them to me, if I was not interested I said I didn't wish to buy them, but here is the name of a couple of good dealers I know who are interested. Maybe I have been around too long, by the time I was 18 I had ten years in this hobby, and I am a long way away from 18. Btw, yeah I could handle writing a check for 50 $20 libs. Not sure I WANT 50 $20 libs though. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> If I were helping someone out I would probably give him your name Matt. If Jason doesn't think he has enough experience yet, that's fine. I was just saying most "rare coin collections" for most people are a bunch of proof sets, maybe some generic morgans and mercury dimes. Large, high value collections aren't THAT common. The majority of "collections" can be handled with someone with a greysheet who knows how to grade in my view. How to spot fakes is useful as well, as is a thick skin when you tell them "grandpa's treasures" is worth $90. Chris[/QUOTE]
