<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 2503240, member: 24544&quot;]This is not a flippant answer, so please don’t take it that way.&nbsp; Maximizing your return will require a lot more effort than you have currently put in.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin market is highly dependent on the grade and condition of each individual coin.&nbsp; In this area, as in many, you will get out of the coins what you put in.&nbsp; If you learn to grade and recognize problem than you can begin to separate out those coins which have numismatic value and those that have only melt value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Alternatively, you could post a detailed list of what you bought, year and mint mark, followed by clear close up photos of the obverse and reverse of each coin.&nbsp; No cell phone pictures please.&nbsp; If you do that I am sure people here will help you weed out the melt value coins from those with numismatic value.</p><p><br /></p><p>You need to keep in mind, maximizing your return will involve a lot of work, some of which we are willing to help you with.&nbsp; But in order for us to help determine value ranges and suggest how best to sell the material, we would need a detailed list and very good photos to begin with.&nbsp; Again, preferable from a DSLR made on a copy stand with good lighting.&nbsp; This may sound excessive, but you need to understand that a small scratch on those gold coins could take the value from $5,000 down to $500…&nbsp; Wear and condition are critical in coming up with a value for coins, and without having the coin in hand we would need good photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another alternative is to go to a coin shop/show and ask for a written appraisal from an expert, but be cautious in selecting the dealer you choose.&nbsp; As with everything there are honest ones and dishonest ones.&nbsp; Feel free to ask us for recommendations in your general area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
