<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 68632, member: 1892&quot;]What you will receive on Tuesday is the <b>beginning</b> of your knowledge of what your father left you. It won&#039;t hurt to be seen as a true rookie, because you&#039;re not going to sell these coins to the first person to make you an offer on them, if you&#039;re interested in selling at all. Right?</p><p><br /></p><p>Let that be the only thing you need to take into this meeting - even if your plan is to sell these coins, you aren&#039;t planning on selling them on Tuesday, and be very firm about that. This is a fact finding mission, to get an objective idea of the specific contents of the collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin grading is a completely subjective process. Therefore, even a completely honest coin dealer may under- or over-estimate the value/quality of your coins by comparison to another dealer&#039;s opinion. Even the paid grading services do not agree about grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, my suggestion is, on Tuesday go into the meeting as an admitted airhead.&nbsp; Learn as much as you can, and bring what you learn here. There are some real experts here (I&#039;m not one of them), people operating from purely altruistic motives and the love of coin collecting. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coins and medicine share the trait that a second opinion is always a virtue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
