<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3363426, member: 112&quot;]Howdy Alan - </p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to coins there really isn&#039;t any such thing as an appraisal company. At least not one that I&#039;ve ever heard of. What there is though are individual coin dealers, and they will do appraisals. </p><p><br /></p><p>As was explained above, some simply charge an hourly fee to do this. And as mentioned the hourly rate can sometimes be quite high. And if it took you and your brothers months to sort the coins, imagine what an appraisal would cost you based on an hourly rate. And you would have to pay that - before the coins were sold. This alone could present you with a rather formidable problem. So a straight out appraisal may, or may not, be an option for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there are dealers who, if your collection is worth enough, will come to you and make you an offer to buy the collection outright. The large and most trusted auction companies will also do this. But as I said the collection has to be worth enough to make it worth their while, and in this day and age that often means more than $100,000.00. </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem you have is that you have no idea if the collection is realistically worth that much or not so you&#039;re kind of between a rock and a hard place. So what I would suggest to you is this, make a comprehensive list of all the coins. You may already have one in the inventory that you said Brinks made. So get a copy of that list, or make your own list, and then email that list to Heritage and Stacks as a beginning. To do that use these links - </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://coins.ha.com/c/ref/consignment-directors.zx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/c/ref/consignment-directors.zx" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/c/ref/consignment-directors.zx</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.stacksbowers.com/ContactUs/default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.stacksbowers.com/ContactUs/default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.stacksbowers.com/ContactUs/default.aspx</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
