<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 34954, member: 669&quot;]Len, don&#039;t take this the wrong way, but you have gotten some excellent advice, even though you apparently don&#039;t like it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not only the &quot;best&quot; way to sell your coins, but the <b>only</b> way to sell them for anywhere near their true value, is to first find out exactly what you have for sale. <ul> <li>Car for sale.&nbsp;</li> <li>Year undetermined</li> <li>make and model unknown</li> <li> mileage unspecified</li> <li>condition uncertain.</li> </ul><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Do you know anyone who would respond favorably to that classified ad?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t know what you are selling, you will have no basis to judge whether or not you are being ripped off.&nbsp; Since you don&#039;t want to take the time, or devote the effort, to learning something about them, your only realistic alternative is to find a dealer you will trust to be fair, and take whatever he offers you.&nbsp; Now that is much easier said than done, and if you don&#039;t find out what you have, you are likely to think you have been ripped off no matter how honest the person you deal with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course you can always put them up for sale on EBay with a disclaimer like &quot;I found these in a dark alley and don&#039;t know what they are, so place your bids based on the pictures.&quot;&nbsp; Then include a small, fuzzy picture in your auction, charge $50 over the actual postage cost for &quot;shipping and handling&quot;, and you will have joined the ranks of sellers who are avoided like the plague by knowledgeable buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you truly want to sell this collection without taking any time to learn about the coins, you should definitely get it appraised.&nbsp; Paying a reasonable hourly fee to a qualified appraiser would the smartest way to go.&nbsp; To find a <u>qualified</u> appraiser I would suggset locating an attorney who specializes in probate matters, and getting a referral from him/her.&nbsp; (I&#039;m sure you can find such an attorney who wouldn&#039;t charge you for that kind of referral.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck my friend. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
