<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 809480, member: 19065&quot;]You will find a lot of good advice from the CT members, so stay tuned to this thread as it pours in and before you go to that appraisal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would not leave your property with someone you do not know well enough to trust your coins with, so do not leave the shop or appraisers office without your items.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, visit more than one professional to get more than one appraisal. You must do your homework before you go to an appraisal. Get to know what the coins are that you are having appraised, understand the terms that may be used, and a ballpark figure of the prices you might expect to see. If you are talking about US coins, perhaps familiarize yourself with a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Book-United-States-Coins/dp/0794827667" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Book-United-States-Coins/dp/0794827667" rel="nofollow">RedBook </a>or consider posting a list of items here, then follow up with good close up photos of coins post here for the members to see. Good pictures will facilitate members helping you &#039;grade&#039; the coins and estimate costs. RedBook values are NOT to be followed as they do not accurately quote prices you will necessarily realize. Once you know what the coins are that you have, check completed auction listings on eBay, eBid, Heritage Auctions, TeleTrade, et al.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of &#039;fast&#039; as highlighted in your post, remember the Venn diagram, you can &quot;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_triangle#Example" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_triangle#Example" rel="nofollow">Pick any two</a>&quot; but you can&#039;t have all three in any given situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck to you and welcome to CT! :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
